More quotes by Muhammad Ali
Enjoy your children, even when they don't act the way you want them to.
Muhammad Ali
Don't ever squeeze a fighter's hand, man. You're doing good just to lay your eyes on me
Muhammad Ali
Boxing is a stepping stone just to introduce me to the audience. If I was still in Louisville, Kentucky and never was a boxer I still might get killed next week in some kind of freedom struggle and you'd ever hear the news.
Muhammad Ali
Holmes is so ugly, his grandmother said when he started to cry the tears would stop and roll down the back of his head.
Muhammad Ali
To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way that you will be truly rich.
Muhammad Ali
Floyd Paterson? Boy, he's the complete opposite to me. He no way like me. They go down in history for just being athletes. I'm getting more praise and credit for doing what I'm doing now on this show than coming here and beating five of your English champions.
Muhammad Ali
I just try to stay half way decent looking. Boxing's a rough sport and you get hit a lot.
Muhammad Ali
I was always curious. I always wondered why Tarzan is the King of the Jungle in Africa, he was white.
Muhammad Ali
My main fight is for freedom and equality.
Muhammad Ali
How many push ups do you do? I don't know. I only starts counting when it starts hurting
Muhammad Ali
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.
Muhammad Ali
I just give lip service to being the greatest. He was the greatest.
Muhammad Ali
I was saying I'm the greatest long before I believed it.
Muhammad Ali
The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.
Muhammad Ali
My face is so pretty, you don’t see a scar, which proves I’m the king of the ring by far.
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
The word had spread and people were piling around us. But then very suddenly, Sonny Liston froze me with that look of his. He said real quiet, 'Let's go on over here.' And he led the way to a table and the people hung back. I ain't going to lie. This was the only time since I have known Sonny Liston that he really scared me.
Muhammad Ali
The sun is always shining someplace.
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
I'm sad because I want to bow out of my race and leave my beautiful identity? Chinese love Chinese. They love their little slant eyed, pale brown skinned babies. Pakistanis love their culture.Jewish people love their culture. A lot of Catholics want to marry Catholics because the want their religion to stay the same.
