Now you see me, now you don't. George thinks he will, but I know he won't!
Muhammad Ali
I'm a Muslim. I've been a Muslim for 20 years. . . . You know me. I'm a boxer. I've been called the greatest. People recognize me for being a boxer and a man of truth. I wouldn't be here representing Islam if it were terrorist. . . . I think all people should know the truth, come to recognize the truth. Islam is peace.
Muhammad Ali
There are billions of people in the world, and every one of them is special. No one else in the world is like you.

Sometimes Howard [Cosell] makes me wish I was a dog and he was a fireplug.

Muhammad Ali
I'm the most recognised and loved man that ever lived
Muhammad Ali
In the big leagues everyone has ability. It always comes down to mind games. Who ever is more mentally strong-wins.
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
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
Rest but never quit. Even the sun has a sinking spell each evening. But it always rises the next morning. At sunrise, every soul is born again.
Muhammad Ali
Don't ever squeeze a fighter's hand, man. You're doing good just to lay your eyes on me
Muhammad Ali
Do not be ashamed to give a little for to deceive is to give still less.
Muhammad Ali
I was lucky, from the age of 12 I had boxing talent and was good for my age.
Muhammad Ali
I can't believe some of the things I did.Can't believe it. Sayin' I was the greatest and the beautifulist and I was gonna whup this guy and that guy, sayin' I'm pretty, I can't be beat.
Muhammad Ali
What’s my greatest weakness? Sad stories, people with problems
