Muhammad Ali
Image
Be loud, be pretty and keep their black-hatin' asses in their chairs
Muhammad Ali
Image
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
All through my life, I have been tested. My will has been tested, my courage has been tested, my strength has been tested. Now my patience and endurance are being tested.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I think we're all brothers - that's the truth. But the press gave us the name black Muslims to cut us off from the others.
Muhammad Ali

It's impossible for 30 million black people to be violent against 170 million - we need a mental revolution, unity in coming together, and not physical.
Muhammad Ali

Wouldn't it be a beautiful world if just 10 percent of the people who believe in the power of love would compete with one another to see who could do the most good for the most people?
Muhammad Ali
Image
