More quotes by 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
This life is not real. I conquered the world and it did not bring me satisfaction.
Muhammad Ali
Life is like a ship. There's people dancing on a ship.There's a lot of money on the ship, but I cannot integrate on the ship or get equality on the ship.And I never could. I'm just in the galley working and I never could get up to see the captain of the ship.
Muhammad Ali
If the boxers are a little more colorful, talk a little like I did and just do half as much as I did for boxing, it will be all right.
Muhammad Ali
Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go ten thousand miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?
Muhammad Ali
His hands can't hit what his eyes can't see.
Muhammad Ali
Parkinson's is my toughest fight. No, it doesn't hurt. It's hard to explain. I'm being tested to see if I'll keep praying, to see if I'll keep my faith. All great people are tested by God.
Muhammad Ali
There is one hell of a difference between fighting in the ring and going to war in Vietnam.
Muhammad Ali
Whoever knocks persistently, ends by entering.
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
In the ring I can stay until I’m old and gray because I know how to hit and dance away
Muhammad Ali
Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone and hospitalized a brick.
Muhammad Ali
I'll tell you how I'd like to be remembered: As a black man who won the heavyweight title - Who has humorous and who never looked down on those who looked up to him - A man who stood for freedom, justice and equality - And I wouldn't even mind if folks forgot how pretty I was.
Muhammad Ali
If you wonder what the difference between them and me is, I'll break the news: you never heard of them. Most of them ... can fight almost as good as I can. I'm just saying you never heard of them.
Muhammad Ali
Do not be ashamed to give a little for to deceive is to give still less.
Muhammad Ali
It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.
Muhammad Ali
Fifteen referees. I want fifteen referees to be at this fight because there ain't no one man who can keep up with the pace I'm gonna set except me. There's not a man alive who can whup me. I'm too fast. I'm too smart. I'm too pretty. I should be a postage stamp. That's the only way I'll ever get licked.
Muhammad Ali
Your body is sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too.
Muhammad Ali
Boxing is a stepping stone just to introduce me to the audience. If I was still in Louisville, Kentucky and never was a boxer I still might get killed next week in some kind of freedom struggle and you'd ever hear the news.
Muhammad Ali
I’m gonna whup whoever stole my bike!
Muhammad Ali
