More quotes by Muhammad Ali
In a competition of love we'll all share in the victory, no matter who comes first
Muhammad Ali
Boxing's a rough sport. After every fight I rush to the mirror to make sure I'm presentable.
Muhammad Ali
Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing
Muhammad Ali
The man of least capacity is the one who shows himself incapable of self-correction.
Muhammad Ali
A man with no imaginations has no wings.
Muhammad Ali
Sometimes Howard [Cosell] makes me wish I was a dog and he was a fireplug.
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
America don't have no future! America's going to be destroyed! Allah's going to divinely chastise America! Violence, crimes, earthquakes - there's gonna be all kinds of trouble. America's going to pay for all its lynchings and killings of slaves and what it's done to black people.
Muhammad Ali
It will be a killer, and a chiller, and a thriller, when I get the gorilla in Manila.
Muhammad Ali
I don't count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting. That is when I start counting, because then it really counts. That's what makes you a champion.
Muhammad Ali
During my boxing career, you did not see the real Muhammad Ali. You just saw a little boxing and a little showmanship. It was after I retired from boxing that my true work began.
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
When you saw me in the boxing ring fighting, it wasn't just so I could beat my opponent. My fighting had a purpose. I had to be successful in order to get people to listen to the things I had to say.
Muhammad Ali
Your body is sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too.
Muhammad Ali
We cannot change the Koran or make no modifications, this cannot be done, or it would no longer be holy.
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
They can boo me, yell at me, and throw peanuts at me, as long as they pay to get in.
Muhammad Ali
Someone stole my bicycle and I said I was going to learn to fight so that I could catch him and beat him up. But I never did catch him. But I ended up the champ of the whole world.
Muhammad Ali
The bull is stronger, but the matador is smarter.
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
