More quotes by Muhammad Ali
I had it in my heart. I believed in myself, and I had confidence. I knew how to do it, had natural talent and I pursued it.
Muhammad Ali
All through my life, I have been tested. My will has been tested, my courage has been tested, my strength has been tested. Now my patience and endurance are being tested.
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 have learned to live my life one step, one breath, and one moment at a time, but it was a long road. I set out on a journey of love, seeking truth, peace and understanding. I am still learning.
Muhammad Ali
I don't have to be what you want me to be.
Muhammad Ali
The outgoing and spontaneous person that the world knew while I was boxing was a persona that I created to sell tickets and promote my career. In my private life, I am quiet and reflective by nature.

Muhammad Ali
God works through people. It’s not me.
Muhammad Ali
Most people don't pray until they're in trouble. When people need help they pray a lot. But after they get what they want, they slow down. If a man takes five showers a day, his body will be clean. Praying five times a day helps me clean my mind.
Muhammad Ali
I have nothing to lose by standing up and following my beliefs. So I'll go to jail, so what? We have been in jail for years.
Muhammad Ali
When a chivalrous man makes an oath, he is faithful to it, and when he attains power, he spares his enemy.
Muhammad Ali
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
No one knows what to say in the loser's locker room.
Muhammad Ali
Now you see me, now you don't. George thinks he will, but I know he won't!
Muhammad Ali
I got nothing against no Viet Cong. No Vietnamese ever called me a << racial epithet >>.
Muhammad Ali
Champions have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
Muhammad Ali
What’s my greatest weakness? Sad stories, people with problems
Muhammad Ali
