Quote

I try not to speak about all the charities and people I help, because I believe we can only be truly generous when we expect nothing in return.

I figure I'll be champ for about ten years and then I'll let my brother take over - like the Kennedys down in Washington.
Muhammad Ali
Image
For the black man to come out superior would be against America's teachings. I have been so great in boxing they had to create an image like Rocky, a white image on the screen, to counteract my image in the ring. America has to have its white images, no matter where it gets them. Jesus, Wonder Woman, Tarzan and Rocky.

Rest but never quit. Even the sun has a sinking spell each evening. But it always rises the next morning. At sunrise, every soul is born again.

Muhammad Ali
Image
I believe in Allah and in peace. I don't try to move into white neighborhoods... I don’t want to marry a white woman. I was baptized when I was 12, but I didn’t know what I was doing. I’m not a Christian anymore. I know where I’m going and I know the truth and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.
Muhammad Ali

You have a right to say what you believe, and I have a right.

You made a big mistake by letting me come, because now I'm going after your job
Muhammad Ali

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.
Muhammad Ali
