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.

More quotes by Muhammad Ali
We can't be brave without fear.
Muhammad Ali
God works through people. It’s not me.
Muhammad Ali
Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare.
Muhammad Ali
Whoever knocks persistently, ends by entering.
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 need to get everything straight. I'm not involved in a power struggle between black and white.
Muhammad Ali
You don't want no pie in the sky when you die, You want something here on the ground while you're still around.
Muhammad Ali
I was always curious. I always wondered why Tarzan is the King of the Jungle in Africa, he was white.
Muhammad Ali
The word had spread and people were piling around us. But then very suddenly, Sonny Liston froze me with that look of his. He said real quiet, 'Let's go on over here.' And he led the way to a table and the people hung back. I ain't going to lie. This was the only time since I have known Sonny Liston that he really scared me.
Muhammad Ali
Even today, if my title hadn't been given back to me and I was in such poverty where I had to go and find a job, I would have done that.
Muhammad Ali
God will not place a burden on a man's shoulders knowing that he cannot carry it.
Muhammad Ali
I'm so mean I make medicine sick!
Muhammad Ali
A man with no imaginations has no wings.
Muhammad Ali
I don't know how many millions I'll make, so I have to give some back to charity. God blesses me with the money, but only if I give some away.
Muhammad Ali
Boxing is a stepping stone just to introduce me to the audience. If I was still in Louisville, Kentucky and never was a boxer I still might get killed next week in some kind of freedom struggle and you'd ever hear the news.
Muhammad Ali
Sonny Liston is nothing. The man can't talk. The man can't fight. The man needs talking lessons. The man needs boxing lessons. And since he's gonna fight me, he needs falling lessons.
Muhammad Ali
How many push ups do you do? I don't know. I only starts counting when it starts hurting
Muhammad Ali
I used to ask my brother Rudy to throw rocks at me. I'd dodge every one. That's how I learned how to bob and weave: ducking rocks.
Muhammad Ali
I don't count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting. That is when I start counting, because then it really counts. That's what makes you a champion.
Muhammad Ali
I said, 'Oh, I know. If the white folks is in Heaven too, then the black angels were in the kitchen, preparing the milk and honey.'
Muhammad Ali
