I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I'm in a world of my own.
Muhammad Ali
Anyhow, I don't think Don King's a very good man. But then again, I doubt that a good man *could* succeed in his business. I'm sure boxing was a dirty sport before he came around. He may have just made it moreso. So that's about all I've got to say about him.
Muhammad Ali
Mr. president, I've been a citizen of the United States of America for thirty three years and was never invited to the White House. It sure gives me pleasure to be invited to the Black House.

Muhammad Ali
The only limitations one has, are the ones they place on themselves
Muhammad Ali
If you look at the world the same way when you're 50 that you did when you were 20, then you wasted 30 years.
Muhammad Ali
You don't want no pie in the sky when you die, You want something here on the ground while you're still around.
Muhammad Ali
I just give lip service to being the greatest. He was the greatest.
Muhammad Ali
Money and riches don't mean nothing to me. I don't care nothing about being no rich individual. I'm not living for glory or for fame all this is doomed for destruction. You got it today, tomorrow it's gone. I got bigger things on my mind than that. I got Islam on my mind.
Muhammad Ali
The most powerful military country in the world, America - which makes all the guns, all the machinery, all the bullets - taught us how to shoot the guns.
Muhammad Ali
My main fight is for freedom and equality.
Muhammad Ali
The only way for peace between the races is a separation of the races.
Muhammad Ali
