More quotes by Muhammad Ali
Before I became a Muslim, I ate pork and chased women--but all that stuff stopped.
Muhammad Ali
I'm not trying to get power over white. I'm involved in a freedom struggle. Not a power struggle.
Muhammad Ali
Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go ten thousand miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?
Muhammad Ali
The only way for peace between the races is a separation of the races.
Muhammad Ali
Get up and say Elijah Muhammad is wrong when he says white are the devil? They have to prove they are not the devil.
Muhammad Ali
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.
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
Every day is different, and some days are better than others, but no matter how challenging the day, I get up and live it.
Muhammad Ali
We are stone enemies when the bell rings
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
A lot of boxers' features change - mainly when I fight 'em
Muhammad Ali
Eat your words! Eat your words! I am the greatest.
Muhammad Ali
I just can't see myself with a man on the ropes and just to prove how bad I am - and I see in his eyes, his head, he's hopeless - and I'm just deliberately hitting. I don't do that.
Muhammad Ali
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.
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
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
It's possible for the heavyweight champion of the world to be with one woman.
Muhammad Ali
Last night I had a dream. When I got to Africa, I had one hell of a rumble. I had to beat Tarzan's behind first, for claiming to be King of the Jungle.
Muhammad Ali
As soon as I heard the truth that Elijah Muhammad teaches us in America, it made me accept it.
Muhammad Ali
I was always curious. I always wondered why Tarzan is the King of the Jungle in Africa, he was white.
Muhammad Ali
