More quotes by Muhammad Ali
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
This relationship will help guarantee that, for generations to come, people of all nations will understand my beliefs and my purpose
Muhammad Ali
Anyhow, I don't think Don King's a very good man. But then again, I doubt that a good man *could* succeed in his business. I'm sure boxing was a dirty sport before he came around. He may have just made it moreso. So that's about all I've got to say about him.
Muhammad Ali
I should be a postage stamp. That’s the only way I’ll ever get licked!
Muhammad Ali
Maybe I was great in the ring, but outside of boxing, I'm just a brother like other people. I want to live a good life, serve God, help everybody I can. And one more thing. I'm still gonna find out who stole my bike when I was 12 years old in Louisville and I'm gonna whup him. That was a good bike.
Muhammad Ali
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
I'm the greatest thing that ever lived! I'm the king of the world! I'm a bad man. I'm the prettiest thing that ever lived. I shook up the world! I want justice...
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
There are billions of people in the world, and every one of them is special. No one else in the world is like you.
Muhammad Ali
I'm not trying to get power over white. I'm involved in a freedom struggle. Not a power struggle.
Muhammad Ali
If Ali says a mosquito can pull a plow, don't ask how. Hitch him up.
Muhammad Ali
Mr. president, I've been a citizen of the United States of America for thirty three years and was never invited to the White House. It sure gives me pleasure to be invited to the Black House.
Muhammad Ali
I was always at the gymnasium every day at six o'clock after school. In the mornings I would run, looking forward to future golden gloves and Olympic tournaments.
Muhammad Ali
My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.
Muhammad Ali
Ain't no reason for me to kill nobody in the ring, unless they deserve it.
Muhammad Ali
I'll tell you how I'd like to be remembered: As a black man who won the heavyweight title - Who has humorous and who never looked down on those who looked up to him - A man who stood for freedom, justice and equality - And I wouldn't even mind if folks forgot how pretty I was.
Muhammad Ali
You lose nothing when fighting for a cause ... In my mind the losers are those who don't have a cause they care about.
Muhammad Ali
I live. I travel. I eat. I pray. These are the things I do. I'd rather be in my condition than be a man with four children in a four-bedroom house, working hard every day to pay for his house, taking his children to school.
Muhammad Ali
If you wonder what the difference between them and me is, I'll break the news: you never heard of them. Most of them ... can fight almost as good as I can. I'm just saying you never heard of them.
Muhammad Ali
I just give lip service to being the greatest. He was the greatest.
Muhammad Ali
