It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Someone stole my bicycle and I said I was going to learn to fight so that I could catch him and beat him up. But I never did catch him. But I ended up the champ of the whole world.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Women are not equal with men, that's sure. When the woman is in danger she always looks to the man for help. We are superior by nature. The black or white woman needn't worry in life because the world is ruled by the white man.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Before I became a Muslim, I ate pork and chased women--but all that stuff stopped.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was. Don't tell me I can't do something. Don't tell me it's impossible. Don't tell me I'm not the greatest. I'm the double greatest.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I'm definitely gonna be the People's champion ... but I just ain't gonna be the champ the way you want me to be the champ. I'm gonna be the champ the way I wanna be.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I didn't run with a gang - I didn't have time. There were a few little street gangs sitting in the spotlights at night time - talking and playing marbles. But I was so wrapped up in boxing since I was 12.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I try to learn as much as I can because I know nothing compared to what I need to know.
Muhammad Ali
Image
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
Image
Malcolm X got famous mainly by being hard on white people, white devils, blue-eyed blond-headed dogs.
Muhammad Ali
Image
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
Image
Boxing is just to introduce me to the struggle. Like, when I speak I draw people in the States to teach them various things or to give them dignity, pride and self-help. I have to help the dope and prostitution problem.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Boxing is good for the livelihood but mainly, money don't really mean nothing.
Muhammad Ali
Image
If I kept my mouth shut, because I can make millions, that isn't doing nothing.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I don't call myself a political figure but I'm taken to be.
Muhammad Ali
Image
The word 'Islam' means 'peace.' The word 'Muslim' means 'one who surrenders to God.' But the press makes us seem like haters.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I've never really resented hard work because I've always liked it. Up every morning for roadwork. Going to the gymnasium every day at 12 o'clock. I never change my pattern.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I'll beat him so bad he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on.
Muhammad Ali

As soon as I heard the truth that Elijah Muhammad teaches us in America, it made me accept it.
