More quotes by 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
When I meet a new person, I don’t see race or religion. I look deeper. We must learn to satisfy our conflicts peacefully and to respect one another.
Muhammad Ali
If you were surprised when Nixon resigned, just watch what happens when I whup Foreman's behind!

I can't see what God's plan is. I just know I've got to live with it.
Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
I just can't see myself with a man on the ropes and just to prove how bad I am - and I see in his eyes, his head, he's hopeless - and I'm just deliberately hitting. I don't do that.
Muhammad Ali
I'm not going to be that kind of a fighter. I'm going to dance and be pretty. I'm just going to win on points.And if I hurt my man I'm going to let him go and I'm not going to kill him just because somebody's watching.
Muhammad Ali
Frank Sinatra told Floyd Paterson how he should whoop me. Frank Sinatra.
Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
Your body is sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too.
Muhammad Ali
I'm not trying to get power over white. I'm involved in a freedom struggle. Not a power struggle.
Muhammad Ali
Our only hope lies in the power of our love, generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world a better place for all.
Muhammad Ali
I was saying I'm the greatest long before I believed it.
Muhammad Ali
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.
Muhammad Ali
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
Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.
Muhammad Ali
My main purpose is to pray five times a day. And that's not easy.
Muhammad Ali
I try not to speak about all the charities and people I help, because I believe we can only be truly generous when we expect nothing in return.
Muhammad Ali
Put yourself out on a limb, sucka, like me!
Muhammad Ali
No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.
Muhammad Ali
