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.

I have learned to live my life one step, one breath, and one moment at a time, but it was a long road. I set out on a journey of love, seeking truth, peace and understanding. I am still learning.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Every day is different, and some days are better than others, but no matter how challenging the day, I get up and live it.
Muhammad Ali
Image
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
Image
I had it in my heart. I believed in myself, and I had confidence. I knew how to do it, had natural talent and I pursued it.

In the big leagues everyone has ability. It always comes down to mind games. Who ever is more mentally strong-wins.
