More quotes by Muhammad Ali
My only fault is that I don't realize how great I really am.
Muhammad Ali
I'm a Muslim. I've been a Muslim for 20 years. . . . You know me. I'm a boxer. I've been called the greatest. People recognize me for being a boxer and a man of truth. I wouldn't be here representing Islam if it were terrorist. . . . I think all people should know the truth, come to recognize the truth. Islam is peace.
Muhammad Ali
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.
Muhammad Ali
I tell you what I really fear. I fear aeroplanes. When the flight's all right and smooth I'm still thinking, 'what if the engine blow up?' 'What if a fool's got a bomb on it?'
Muhammad Ali
Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do - they all contain truths.
Muhammad Ali
Eat your words! Eat your words! I am the greatest.
Muhammad Ali
The fact is I never was too bright in school. I just barely graduated. I had a D- average. I ain't ashamed of it, though. I mean, how much do principals make a month?
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
There is one hell of a difference between fighting in the ring and going to war in Vietnam.
Muhammad Ali
I've got it! I've got it! It'll make front-page headlines around the world. You can have me kidnapped, and then a couple of days before the fight I'll show up again
Muhammad Ali
I'm sure no intelligent white person, in his or her right white mind, want black men and women marrying their white sons and daughters and in return introducing their grandchildren to half brown, kinky haired black people.
Muhammad Ali
You have a right to say what you believe, and I have a right.
Muhammad Ali
Do not be ashamed to give a little for to deceive is to give still less.
Muhammad Ali
I don't call myself a political figure but I'm taken to be.
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
Parkinson's is my toughest fight. No, it doesn't hurt. It's hard to explain. I'm being tested to see if I'll keep praying, to see if I'll keep my faith. All great people are tested by God.
Muhammad Ali
In a competition of love we'll all share in the victory, no matter who comes first
Muhammad Ali
Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone and hospitalized a brick.
Muhammad Ali
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
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
