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
Image
I am the king of the world. I'm a man's man.
Muhammad Ali
Image
My soul has grown over the years, and some of my views have changed. As long as I am alive, I will continue to try to understand more because the work of the heart is never done.
Muhammad Ali
Image
The fact is I never was too bright in school. I just barely graduated. I had a D- average. I ain't ashamed of it, though. I mean, how much do principals make a month?
Muhammad Ali

Oh! how the hours hasten to change into days, the days into months, the months into years, and those into life's annihilation!

I have a radar built inside me to avoid punches

This boldness in telling the truth overshadows sport greatly. You couldn't get Joe Frazier or no boxer on this show and get interest in a subject like this. He couldn't talk about it.

If you wonder what the difference between them and me is, I'll break the news: you never heard of them. Most of them ... can fight almost as good as I can. I'm just saying you never heard of them.

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.

My mama told me I was already in a hurry as a child. I even had measles and chicken pox at the same time
Muhammad Ali

I'm the most recognised and loved man that ever lived
Muhammad Ali

I have nothing to lose by standing up and following my beliefs. So I'll go to jail, so what? We have been in jail for years.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Sonny Liston is nothing. The man can't talk. The man can't fight. The man needs talking lessons. The man needs boxing lessons. And since he's gonna fight me, he needs falling lessons.
Muhammad Ali
Image
To succeed,all I need to do is suffer.
Muhammad Ali
Image
We're not trying to take power away or rule anybody - we're just trying to get up from under the rulers.
Muhammad Ali
Image
You don't want no pie in the sky when you die, You want something here on the ground while you're still around.
Muhammad Ali
Image
We are stone enemies when the bell rings
Muhammad Ali
Image
There are billions of people in the world, and every one of them is special. No one else in the world is like you.

So now I'm going to forget the 400 years of lynching and killing raping and depriving my people feeding of justice and equality and the lowest of low last respect and I'm going to look at two or three white people who are trying to do right and don't see the other million who are trying to kill me? I'm not that big of a fool.
