You don't want no pie in the sky when you die, You want something here on the ground while you're still around.

I'll destroy you. I am the master of disaster.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Shut up, I know what I'm doing!
Muhammad Ali
Image
It will be a killer, and a chiller, and a thriller, when I get the gorilla in Manila.
Muhammad Ali
Image
That man was beautiful. Timing, speed, reflexes, rhythm, his body, everything was beautiful. And to me, still, I would say pound for pound... I'd say I'm the greatest heavyweight of all time, but pound for pound, I still say Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest of all time.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Just remember that you don't have to be what they want you to be.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Since I won't let the critics seal my fate, they keep hollering I'm full of hate. But they don't really hurt me none, 'cause I'm doing good and having fun.
Muhammad Ali
Image
The world’s champ should be pretty like me!
Muhammad Ali
Image
I'm the fastest thing on two feet.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I'm relyin' on Almighty God, Allah, and whatever happens happens.
Muhammad Ali
Image
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
Image
All I want now is to be a nice, clean gentleman. I've proved my point. Now I'm going to set an example for all the nice boys and girls. I'm through talking
Muhammad Ali
Image
People don't realise what they had till it's gone. Like President Kennedy - nobody like him. Like The Beatles, there will never be anything like them. Like my man, Elvis Presley - I was the Elvis of boxing.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I can't see what God's plan is. I just know I've got to live with it.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I didn't run with a gang - I didn't have time. There were a few little street gangs sitting in the spotlights at night time - talking and playing marbles. But I was so wrapped up in boxing since I was 12.
Muhammad Ali
Image
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
Image
My only fault is that I don't realize how great I really am.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Lakes, rivers, streams...all are water and all travel to the same destination. So it is with religion.
Muhammad Ali
Image
You dont lose if you get knocked down you lose if you stay down.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I'm the most recognised and loved man that ever lived
Muhammad Ali
Image
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.
