Muhammad Ali
I believe in Allah and in peace. I don't try to move into white neighborhoods... I don’t want to marry a white woman. I was baptized when I was 12, but I didn’t know what I was doing. I’m not a Christian anymore. I know where I’m going and I know the truth and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.
Muhammad Ali
I know I got it made while the masses of black people are catchin' hell, but as long as they ain't free, I ain't free.
Muhammad Ali
I try to learn as much as I can because I know nothing compared to what I need to know.
Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
The word 'Islam' means 'peace.' The word 'Muslim' means 'one who surrenders to God.' But the press makes us seem like haters.
Muhammad Ali
I was the first one in the gym, and the last one to leave.
Muhammad Ali
It's impossible for 30 million black people to be violent against 170 million - we need a mental revolution, unity in coming together, and not physical.
Muhammad Ali
