People don't realise what they had till it's gone. Like President Kennedy - nobody like him. Like The Beatles, there will never be anything like them. Like my man, Elvis Presley - I was the Elvis of boxing.

More quotes by 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
Elvis Presley was the sweetest, most humble and nicest man you'd want to know.
Muhammad Ali
I can't see what God's plan is. I just know I've got to live with it.
Muhammad Ali
Women are the field that produces our nation. And if you can't protect your women, you can't protect your nation.
Muhammad Ali
I was lucky, from the age of 12 I had boxing talent and was good for my age.

Muhammad Ali
Inside of a ring or out, ain't nothing wrong with going down. It's staying down that's wrong.

Muhammad Ali
Why do I want my wife to show off her panties when the wind blows? Horses show their behinds, and cows and mules, not humans.
Muhammad Ali
Money and riches don't mean nothing to me. I don't care nothing about being no rich individual. I'm not living for glory or for fame all this is doomed for destruction. You got it today, tomorrow it's gone. I got bigger things on my mind than that. I got Islam on my mind.
Muhammad Ali
When you saw me in the boxing ring fighting, it wasn't just so I could beat my opponent. My fighting had a purpose. I had to be successful in order to get people to listen to the things I had to say.
Muhammad Ali
We cannot change the Koran or make no modifications, this cannot be done, or it would no longer be holy.
Muhammad Ali
I live. I travel. I eat. I pray. These are the things I do. I'd rather be in my condition than be a man with four children in a four-bedroom house, working hard every day to pay for his house, taking his children to school.
Muhammad Ali
I don't call myself a political figure but I'm taken to be.
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
All black Americans have slave names. They have white names names that the slave master has given to them.
Muhammad Ali
If Ali says a mosquito can pull a plow, don't ask how. Hitch him up.
Muhammad Ali
