More quotes by Muhammad Ali

Image
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
Image
Boxing is good for the livelihood but mainly, money don't really mean nothing.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I'm pretty as a girl.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Our only hope lies in the power of our love, generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world a better place for all.
Muhammad Ali
Image
It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.
Muhammad Ali
Image
There is one hell of a difference between fighting in the ring and going to war in Vietnam.
Muhammad Ali
Image
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
Image
Hell no / I ain't going to go / Clean out my cell / And take my tail / To jail / Without bail / Because it's better there eating / Watching television fed / Than in Vietnam with your white folks dead.

Boxing's a rough sport. After every fight I rush to the mirror to make sure I'm presentable.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Boxing is a stepping stone just to introduce me to the audience. If I was still in Louisville, Kentucky and never was a boxer I still might get killed next week in some kind of freedom struggle and you'd ever hear the news.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Brooding over blunders is the biggest blunder.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Rest but never quit. Even the sun has a sinking spell each evening. But it always rises the next morning. At sunrise, every soul is born again.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I don't call myself a political figure but I'm taken to be.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I have to be real cool and not savage and radical, because it makes me angry when I think about it when I see the white boys, who are really the number one citizens, the future rulers.
Muhammad Ali
Image
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.

Religions have different names, and they all contain truth, expressed in different ways forms and times
Muhammad Ali
Image
There are no pleasures in a fight but some of my fights have been a pleasure to win.
Muhammad Ali
Image
If you lose a big fight, it will worry you all of your life. It will plague you - until you get your revenge.
Muhammad Ali
Image
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.

Lighting that torch in Atlanta didn't make me nervous. Standing up to the government - that made me nervous.
