Muhammad Ali
I'll tell you how I'd like to be remembered: As a black man who won the heavyweight title - Who has humorous and who never looked down on those who looked up to him - A man who stood for freedom, justice and equality - And I wouldn't even mind if folks forgot how pretty I was.
Muhammad Ali
Your body is sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too.
Muhammad Ali

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!
Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
