More quotes by Muhammad Ali
When I was 9, I saw a wrestler on television named Gorgeous George. He said, I'm beautiful. I'm so pretty that if a sucker touches my face, I'll kill him. If he messes with my hair, I'll pummel him. I said to myself, That's a good idea. I am the greatest, I'm pretty. And then I took it a little further than he did.
Muhammad Ali
I believe in Allah and in peace. I don't try to move into white neighborhoods... I don’t want to marry a white woman. I was baptized when I was 12, but I didn’t know what I was doing. I’m not a Christian anymore. I know where I’m going and I know the truth and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.
Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
The word 'Islam' means 'peace.' The word 'Muslim' means 'one who surrenders to God.' But the press makes us seem like haters.
Muhammad Ali
I'm not going to be that kind of a fighter. I'm going to dance and be pretty. I'm just going to win on points.And if I hurt my man I'm going to let him go and I'm not going to kill him just because somebody's watching.
Muhammad Ali
I need to get everything straight. I'm not involved in a power struggle between black and white.

What you're thinking is what you're becoming.
Muhammad Ali
