More quotes by 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
Be obedient to your superior, and your inferior will obey you.
Muhammad Ali
There ain't no such thing as black Muslims. That's how they tried to cut off all my brothers in the rest of the world and divide us in America and make other Muslims think that we are not with them.We are all the same. I recognise them and they recognise me. I'm invited to all of their homes all over the world and I'm invited to Muslim countries.
Muhammad Ali
I'll beat him so bad he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on.
Muhammad Ali
Put yourself out on a limb, sucka, like me!
Muhammad Ali
Floyd Paterson? Boy, he's the complete opposite to me. He no way like me. They go down in history for just being athletes. I'm getting more praise and credit for doing what I'm doing now on this show than coming here and beating five of your English champions.
Muhammad Ali
My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.
Muhammad Ali
I have nothing to lose by standing up and following my beliefs. So I'll go to jail, so what? We have been in jail for years.
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
Lighting that torch in Atlanta didn't make me nervous. Standing up to the government - that made me nervous.
Muhammad Ali
Not to commit faults counts for more than to do good.
Muhammad Ali
Money and riches don't mean nothing to me. I don't care nothing about being no rich individual. I'm not living for glory or for fame all this is doomed for destruction. You got it today, tomorrow it's gone. I got bigger things on my mind than that. I got Islam on my mind.
Muhammad Ali
Be loud, be pretty and keep their black-hatin' asses in their chairs
Muhammad Ali
Lakes, rivers, streams...all are water and all travel to the same destination. So it is with religion.
Muhammad Ali
I try not to speak about all the charities and people I help, because I believe we can only be truly generous when we expect nothing in return.
Muhammad Ali
Do not be ashamed to give a little for to deceive is to give still less.
Muhammad Ali
Do you know why I’m the fastest heavyweight in the world? I’m the only heavyweight that trains underwater!
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
Frank Sinatra told Floyd Paterson how he should whoop me. Frank Sinatra.
Muhammad Ali
But when I looked at a lot of the questions they had on them army tests, I just didn't know the answers. I don't even know how to start after finding the answers. That's all.
Muhammad Ali
