More quotes by Muhammad Ali
Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare.
Muhammad Ali
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
I don't know what truculent means, but if it's good, it's me
Muhammad Ali
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
Shut up, I know what I'm doing!
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
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
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
While Frazier was a man of few words / Ali was a world of mouth / but he found his place in history / Now his heart can express him well / Joe Frazier was a silent warrior / whom Ali silently admired / One could not rise without the other
Muhammad Ali
When you come to the fight Don't block the halls and don't block the door, for y'all may go home after round four.
Muhammad Ali
Fifteen referees. I want fifteen referees to be at this fight because there ain't no one man who can keep up with the pace I'm gonna set except me. There's not a man alive who can whup me. I'm too fast. I'm too smart. I'm too pretty. I should be a postage stamp. That's the only way I'll ever get licked.
Muhammad Ali
The only limitations one has, are the ones they place on themselves
Muhammad Ali
There are billions of people in the world, and every one of them is special. No one else in the world is like you.
Muhammad Ali
Get up sucker and fight. Get up and fight
Muhammad Ali
Just remember that you don't have to be what they want you to be.
Muhammad Ali
Boxing's a rough sport. After every fight I rush to the mirror to make sure I'm presentable.
Muhammad Ali
Champions come and go, but to be legendary you got to have heart, more heart than the next man, more than anyone in the world.
Muhammad Ali
Don't ever squeeze a fighter's hand, man. You're doing good just to lay your eyes on me
Muhammad Ali
You don't want no pie in the sky when you die, You want something here on the ground while you're still around.
Muhammad Ali
I'll destroy you. I am the master of disaster.
Muhammad Ali
