More quotes by Muhammad Ali
My main purpose is to pray five times a day. And that's not easy.
Muhammad Ali
That man was beautiful. Timing, speed, reflexes, rhythm, his body, everything was beautiful. And to me, still, I would say pound for pound... I'd say I'm the greatest heavyweight of all time, but pound for pound, I still say Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest of all time.
Muhammad Ali
Anywhere I go, there is always an incredible crowd that follows me. In Rome, as I land at the airport, even the men kiss me. I love Rome.
Muhammad Ali
In America they got two policemen, five policemen and one car watching each other, each has got a pistol, one has got a machine gun, one' got a shotgun and two dogs growling at each other.
Muhammad Ali
I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.
Muhammad Ali
When I beat Sonny Liston, I shocked the world. When I joined the Muslims, I shocked the world. When I beat George Forman, I shocked the world. I am from the House of Shock
Muhammad Ali
Women are not equal with men, that's sure. When the woman is in danger she always looks to the man for help. We are superior by nature. The black or white woman needn't worry in life because the world is ruled by the white man.
Muhammad Ali
Do you know why I’m the fastest heavyweight in the world? I’m the only heavyweight that trains underwater!
Muhammad Ali
I've never really resented hard work because I've always liked it. Up every morning for roadwork. Going to the gymnasium every day at 12 o'clock. I never change my pattern.
Muhammad Ali
Hittin' hard don't mean nothing if you don't find nothin' to hit.
Muhammad Ali
Love is a net that catches hearts like a fish
Muhammad Ali
If the boxers are a little more colorful, talk a little like I did and just do half as much as I did for boxing, it will be all right.
Muhammad Ali
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
Muhammad Ali
Boxing is just to introduce me to the struggle. Like, when I speak I draw people in the States to teach them various things or to give them dignity, pride and self-help. I have to help the dope and prostitution problem.
Muhammad Ali
Inside of a ring or out, ain't nothing wrong with going down. It's staying down that's wrong.
Muhammad Ali
I got nothing against no Viet Cong. No Vietnamese ever called me a << racial epithet >>.
Muhammad Ali
I am an ordinary man who worked hard to develop the talent I was given.
Muhammad Ali
God will not place a burden on a man's shoulders knowing that he cannot carry it.
Muhammad Ali
Ain't no reason for me to kill nobody in the ring, unless they deserve it.
Muhammad Ali
Parkinson's is my toughest fight. No, it doesn't hurt. It's hard to explain. I'm being tested to see if I'll keep praying, to see if I'll keep my faith. All great people are tested by God.
Muhammad Ali
