I've been on planes flying through thunder storms when the pilot says, 'ladies and gentlemen, we tried to fly around it but we can't so it's going to be rough'.And when a pilot says it's going to be bad, it's going to be rough. And you say to youself, boy, I could have got the train.
Muhammad Ali

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 Ali says a mosquito can pull a plow, don't ask how. Hitch him up.

To succeed,all I need to do is suffer.
Muhammad Ali
