We black people, as a whole, are at war we'll say with the white power structure. Not physically, but we have definite protests to win the battle.
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.

I'm sure no intelligent white person, in his or her right white mind, want black men and women marrying their white sons and daughters and in return introducing their grandchildren to half brown, kinky haired black people.

Money and riches don't mean nothing to me. I don't care nothing about being no rich individual. I'm not living for glory or for fame all this is doomed for destruction. You got it today, tomorrow it's gone. I got bigger things on my mind than that. I got Islam on my mind.

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
Image
I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Hell no / I ain't going to go / Clean out my cell / And take my tail / To jail / Without bail / Because it's better there eating / Watching television fed / Than in Vietnam with your white folks dead.
Muhammad Ali
Image
If we continue to think and live as if we belong only to different cultures and different religions, with separate missions and goals, we will always be in self-defeating competition with each other. Once we realize we are all members of humanity, we will want to compete in the spirit of love.
Muhammad Ali
Image
No black man wants a blue-eyed black child, and no white man wants a kinky-haired white child. Nature didn't mean it to be that way.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Spirituality is recognizing the divine light that is within us all. It doesn't belong to any particular religion it belongs to everyone
Muhammad Ali
Image
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Last night I had a dream. When I got to Africa, I had one hell of a rumble. I had to beat Tarzan's behind first, for claiming to be King of the Jungle.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I am an ordinary man who worked hard to develop the talent I was given.

If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.
