More quotes by Muhammad Ali
During my boxing career, you did not see the real Muhammad Ali. You just saw a little boxing and a little showmanship. It was after I retired from boxing that my true work began.
Muhammad Ali
All black Americans have slave names. They have white names names that the slave master has given to them.
Muhammad Ali
I said a lot of things in the heat of the moment that I shouldn't have said. Called him names I shouldn't have called him. I apologise for that. I'm sorry. It was all meant to promote the fight.
Muhammad Ali
God will not place a burden on a man's shoulders knowing that he cannot carry it.
Muhammad Ali
No black man wants a blue-eyed black child, and no white man wants a kinky-haired white child. Nature didn't mean it to be that way.

Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
I'm going to, not I'm gonna. Talk intelligent
Muhammad Ali
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.
Muhammad Ali
Inside of a ring or out, ain't nothing wrong with going down. It's staying down that's wrong.
Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
I don't know what truculent means, but if it's good, it's me
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
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
I used to ask my brother Rudy to throw rocks at me. I'd dodge every one. That's how I learned how to bob and weave: ducking rocks.
Muhammad Ali
I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world.
Muhammad Ali
Just remember that you don't have to be what they want you to be.
Muhammad Ali
If the white man ain't the devil, he's been aiming at the history of the Americans.
Muhammad Ali
It's not bragging if you can back it up.
Muhammad Ali
I shook up the world.
Muhammad Ali
