Mr. president, I've been a citizen of the United States of America for thirty three years and was never invited to the White House. It sure gives me pleasure to be invited to the Black House.

More quotes by Muhammad Ali
We believe that the Honorable Elijah Mohammed is the apostle of Allah, God, but I'm only a helper and a minister of his.
Muhammad Ali
I'm the most recognised and loved man that ever lived
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
This boldness in telling the truth overshadows sport greatly. You couldn't get Joe Frazier or no boxer on this show and get interest in a subject like this. He couldn't talk about it.
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.
Muhammad Ali
Lakes, rivers, streams...all are water and all travel to the same destination. So it is with religion.
Muhammad Ali
God will not place a burden on a man's shoulders knowing that he cannot carry it.
Muhammad Ali
I live. I travel. I eat. I pray. These are the things I do. I'd rather be in my condition than be a man with four children in a four-bedroom house, working hard every day to pay for his house, taking his children to school.
Muhammad Ali
If the boxers are a little more colorful, talk a little like I did and just do half as much as I did for boxing, it will be all right.
Muhammad Ali
My trainer don't tell me nothing between rounds. I don't allow him to. I fight the fight. All I want to know is did I win the round. It's too late for advice.
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
I just try to stay half way decent looking. Boxing's a rough sport and you get hit a lot.
Muhammad Ali
We are stone enemies when the bell rings
Muhammad Ali
In the big leagues everyone has ability. It always comes down to mind games. Who ever is more mentally strong-wins.
Muhammad Ali
We cannot change the Koran or make no modifications, this cannot be done, or it would no longer be holy.
Muhammad Ali
Sonny Liston is nothing. The man can't talk. The man can't fight. The man needs talking lessons. The man needs boxing lessons. And since he's gonna fight me, he needs falling lessons.
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
Boxing's a rough sport. After every fight I rush to the mirror to make sure I'm presentable.
Muhammad Ali
I believe in the religion of Islam. I believe in Allah and peace.
Muhammad Ali
I had something to do, which most kids really need. Something they can look forward to - a goal, a purpose to work towards. Something to achieve. Keeps them out of trouble.
Muhammad Ali
