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.

More quotes by Muhammad Ali
I need to get everything straight. I'm not involved in a power struggle between black and white.
Muhammad Ali
We're not trying to take power away or rule anybody - we're just trying to get up from under the rulers.
Muhammad Ali
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
Don't count the days, make the days count.
Muhammad Ali
Life is like a ship. There's people dancing on a ship.There's a lot of money on the ship, but I cannot integrate on the ship or get equality on the ship.And I never could. I'm just in the galley working and I never could get up to see the captain of the ship.
Muhammad Ali
Christians are my brothers, Hindus are my brothers, all of them are my brothers. We just think different and believe different.
Muhammad Ali
It's not bragging if you can back it up.
Muhammad Ali
I'll destroy you. I am the master of disaster.
Muhammad Ali
The sweetness of life lies in dispensing with formalities.
Muhammad Ali
When you come to the fight Don't block the halls and don't block the door, for y'all may go home after round four.
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
Boxing's a rough sport. After every fight I rush to the mirror to make sure I'm presentable.
Muhammad Ali
I shook up the world.
Muhammad Ali
It will be a killer, and a chiller, and a thriller, when I get the gorilla in Manila.
Muhammad Ali
What you're thinking is what you're becoming.
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
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
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.
Muhammad Ali
When a man says I cannot, he has made a suggestion to himself. He has weakened his power of accomplishing that which otherwise would have been accomplished.
Muhammad Ali
In the ring I can stay until I’m old and gray because I know how to hit and dance away
Muhammad Ali
