Oh! how the hours hasten to change into days, the days into months, the months into years, and those into life's annihilation!
Muhammad Ali
Image
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.

Before I became a Muslim, I ate pork and chased women--but all that stuff stopped.
Muhammad Ali
Image
The sweetness of life lies in dispensing with formalities.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I need to get everything straight. I'm not involved in a power struggle between black and white.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I don't count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting. That is when I start counting, because then it really counts. That's what makes you a champion.
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.

Boxing is good for the livelihood but mainly, money don't really mean nothing.

I don't know what truculent means, but if it's good, it's me

Anyhow, I don't think Don King's a very good man. But then again, I doubt that a good man *could* succeed in his business. I'm sure boxing was a dirty sport before he came around. He may have just made it moreso. So that's about all I've got to say about him.

Black people in America will never be free so long as they're on the white man's land. We can't be free until we get our own land and our own country in North America. When we separate from America and take maybe ten states, then we'll be free.

The man who has no imagination has no wings.
Muhammad Ali
Image
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.

Elvis Presley was the sweetest, most humble and nicest man you'd want to know.

Holmes is so ugly, his grandmother said when he started to cry the tears would stop and roll down the back of his head.
Muhammad Ali
Image
That man was beautiful. Timing, speed, reflexes, rhythm, his body, everything was beautiful. And to me, still, I would say pound for pound... I'd say I'm the greatest heavyweight of all time, but pound for pound, I still say Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest of all time.
Muhammad Ali

I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.

If I could meet anybody? The prophet Muhammad.
Muhammad Ali

So now I'm going to forget the 400 years of lynching and killing raping and depriving my people feeding of justice and equality and the lowest of low last respect and I'm going to look at two or three white people who are trying to do right and don't see the other million who are trying to kill me? I'm not that big of a fool.
