But when I looked at a lot of the questions they had on them army tests, I just didn't know the answers. I don't even know how to start after finding the answers. That's all.

Will be a divine fight, a holy war...Armageddon on a miniature scale.

The same people that are with me for not going to Vietnam because I saved them and their children.The same people will give me hell if I turn to them and say, 'let's free my people now'.They're with me on one part of my beliefs about the war, that's all. Not for my freedom.
Muhammad Ali

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.

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.

Anyhow, I don't think Don King's a very good man. But then again, I doubt that a good man *could* succeed in his business. I'm sure boxing was a dirty sport before he came around. He may have just made it moreso. So that's about all I've got to say about him.
Muhammad Ali

I am an ordinary man who worked hard to develop the talent I was given.
Muhammad Ali

My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.
Muhammad Ali

A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I am the king of the world. I'm a man's man.
Muhammad Ali
Image
We black people, as a whole, are at war we'll say with the white power structure. Not physically, but we have definite protests to win the battle.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone and hospitalized a brick.

I predict that this will be the greatest book ever and it will sell more than any other book in history
Muhammad Ali

Why do I want my wife to show off her panties when the wind blows? Horses show their behinds, and cows and mules, not humans.
Muhammad Ali

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.

Spirituality is recognizing the divine light that is within us all. It doesn't belong to any particular religion it belongs to everyone
Muhammad Ali
Image
Hell no / I ain't going to go / Clean out my cell / And take my tail / To jail / Without bail / Because it's better there eating / Watching television fed / Than in Vietnam with your white folks dead.

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