I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world.
Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
Muhammad Ali
I shook up the world.

Muhammad Ali
Life is like a ship. There's people dancing on a ship.There's a lot of money on the ship, but I cannot integrate on the ship or get equality on the ship.And I never could. I'm just in the galley working and I never could get up to see the captain of the ship.

Muhammad Ali
Don't count the days, make the days count.
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.
Muhammad Ali
The greater our level of understanding, the harder the tests become.
Muhammad Ali
I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky my name, not yours my religion, not yours my goals, my own get used to me.
Muhammad Ali
It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.
Muhammad Ali
Being Ali's doctor is somewhat like being gynacologist to the Queen of England. One does not have to do much to receive good press.
Muhammad Ali
War on nations changes maps. War on poverty maps change.
Muhammad Ali
Money and riches don't mean nothing to me. I don't care nothing about being no rich individual. I'm not living for glory or for fame all this is doomed for destruction. You got it today, tomorrow it's gone. I got bigger things on my mind than that. I got Islam on my mind.
Muhammad Ali
I'm going to, not I'm gonna. Talk intelligent
Muhammad Ali
My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.
Muhammad Ali
No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.
Muhammad Ali
