More quotes by Muhammad Ali
Just remember that you don't have to be what they want you to be.
Muhammad Ali
So now I'm going to forget the 400 years of lynching and killing raping and depriving my people feeding of justice and equality and the lowest of low last respect and I'm going to look at two or three white people who are trying to do right and don't see the other million who are trying to kill me? I'm not that big of a fool.
Muhammad Ali
Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up.
Muhammad Ali
I'm sad because I want to bow out of my race and leave my beautiful identity? Chinese love Chinese. They love their little slant eyed, pale brown skinned babies. Pakistanis love their culture.Jewish people love their culture. A lot of Catholics want to marry Catholics because the want their religion to stay the same.
Muhammad Ali
That man was beautiful. Timing, speed, reflexes, rhythm, his body, everything was beautiful. And to me, still, I would say pound for pound... I'd say I'm the greatest heavyweight of all time, but pound for pound, I still say Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest of all time.
Muhammad Ali

It's ain't sad that I want my child to look like me? Every intelligent person wants their child to look like him.
Muhammad Ali
Boxing is just to introduce me to the struggle. Like, when I speak I draw people in the States to teach them various things or to give them dignity, pride and self-help. I have to help the dope and prostitution problem.
Muhammad Ali
The word had spread and people were piling around us. But then very suddenly, Sonny Liston froze me with that look of his. He said real quiet, 'Let's go on over here.' And he led the way to a table and the people hung back. I ain't going to lie. This was the only time since I have known Sonny Liston that he really scared me.
Muhammad Ali
Malcolm X got famous mainly by being hard on white people, white devils, blue-eyed blond-headed dogs.
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
If you love God, tear out your heart's love of the world.
Muhammad Ali
I have not lost Allah's hope in us to show compassion where none exists and to extend mercy in the most difficult of circumstances. We as Muslims must lead by example.
Muhammad Ali
I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.
Muhammad Ali
I need to get everything straight. I'm not involved in a power struggle between black and white.
Muhammad Ali
Be obedient to your superior, and your inferior will obey you.
Muhammad Ali
Things are getting much better, but I always wondered when I went to church on Sundays. I've always been one to... I'm not just a boxer.
Muhammad Ali
Politicians are always saying that they are in support of Iraqi citizens and now they are increasing the price of petrol. We were oppressed for 35 years. We are like a sick patient who is in need of care, and they are increasing prices
Muhammad Ali
Some people have special resources inside, and when God blesses you to have more than others, you have a responsibility to use it right
Muhammad Ali
