More quotes by Muhammad Ali
I've never really resented hard work because I've always liked it. Up every morning for roadwork. Going to the gymnasium every day at 12 o'clock. I never change my pattern.
Muhammad Ali
Our only hope lies in the power of our love, generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world a better place for all.
Muhammad Ali
Ain't no reason for me to kill nobody in the ring, unless they deserve it.

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
When you saw me in the boxing ring fighting, it wasn't just so I could beat my opponent. My fighting had a purpose. I had to be successful in order to get people to listen to the things I had to say.
Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
I don't know what truculent means, but if it's good, it's me
Muhammad Ali

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 believe in the religion of Islam. I believe in Allah and peace.
Muhammad Ali
The man who has no imagination has no wings.
Muhammad Ali
