Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.

More quotes by Muhammad Ali
I'm a Muslim. I've been a Muslim for 20 years. . . . You know me. I'm a boxer. I've been called the greatest. People recognize me for being a boxer and a man of truth. I wouldn't be here representing Islam if it were terrorist. . . . I think all people should know the truth, come to recognize the truth. Islam is peace.
Muhammad Ali
I'm the best. I just haven't played yet.
Muhammad Ali
God will not place a burden on a man's shoulders knowing that he cannot carry it.
Muhammad Ali
When it comes to love, compassion, and other feelings of the heart, I am rich.
Muhammad Ali
I just can't see myself with a man on the ropes and just to prove how bad I am - and I see in his eyes, his head, he's hopeless - and I'm just deliberately hitting. I don't do that.
Muhammad Ali
Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do - they all contain truths.
Muhammad Ali
Holmes is so ugly, his grandmother said when he started to cry the tears would stop and roll down the back of his head.
Muhammad Ali
Floyd Paterson? Boy, he's the complete opposite to me. He no way like me. They go down in history for just being athletes. I'm getting more praise and credit for doing what I'm doing now on this show than coming here and beating five of your English champions.
Muhammad Ali
My soul has grown over the years, and some of my views have changed. As long as I am alive, I will continue to try to understand more because the work of the heart is never done.
Muhammad Ali
We're not trying to take power away or rule anybody - we're just trying to get up from under the rulers.
Muhammad Ali
I should be a postage stamp. That’s the only way I’ll ever get licked!
Muhammad Ali
In the ring I can stay until I’m old and gray because I know how to hit and dance away
Muhammad Ali
But when I looked at a lot of the questions they had on them army tests, I just didn't know the answers. I don't even know how to start after finding the answers. That's all.
Muhammad Ali
We black people, as a whole, are at war we'll say with the white power structure. Not physically, but we have definite protests to win the battle.
Muhammad Ali
I just give lip service to being the greatest. He was the greatest.
Muhammad Ali
When you come to the fight Don't block the halls and don't block the door, for y'all may go home after round four.
Muhammad Ali
Most people don't pray until they're in trouble. When people need help they pray a lot. But after they get what they want, they slow down. If a man takes five showers a day, his body will be clean. Praying five times a day helps me clean my mind.
Muhammad Ali
This boldness in telling the truth overshadows sport greatly. You couldn't get Joe Frazier or no boxer on this show and get interest in a subject like this. He couldn't talk about it.
Muhammad Ali
Whoever listens to slander is himself a slanderer.
Muhammad Ali
Whoever knocks persistently, ends by entering.
Muhammad Ali
