More quotes by Muhammad Ali
The man of least capacity is the one who shows himself incapable of self-correction.
Muhammad Ali
I'm definitely gonna be the People's champion ... but I just ain't gonna be the champ the way you want me to be the champ. I'm gonna be the champ the way I wanna be.
Muhammad Ali
We are stone enemies when the bell rings
Muhammad Ali
I believe in Allah and in peace. I don't try to move into white neighborhoods... I don’t want to marry a white woman. I was baptized when I was 12, but I didn’t know what I was doing. I’m not a Christian anymore. I know where I’m going and I know the truth and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.
Muhammad Ali
What’s my greatest weakness? Sad stories, people with problems
Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
I had something to do, which most kids really need. Something they can look forward to - a goal, a purpose to work towards. Something to achieve. Keeps them out of trouble.
Muhammad Ali
Women are not equal with men, that's sure. When the woman is in danger she always looks to the man for help. We are superior by nature. The black or white woman needn't worry in life because the world is ruled by the white man.
Muhammad Ali
Islam is against killing, terrorism, and murder. People who commit these acts in the name of Islam are wrong. And if I had a chance I would do something about it.
Muhammad Ali
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
Malcolm X got famous mainly by being hard on white people, white devils, blue-eyed blond-headed dogs.
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
I tell you what I really fear. I fear aeroplanes. When the flight's all right and smooth I'm still thinking, 'what if the engine blow up?' 'What if a fool's got a bomb on it?'
Muhammad Ali
Do not be ashamed to give a little for to deceive is to give still less.
Muhammad Ali
It's not bragging if you can back it up.
Muhammad Ali
The bull is stronger, but the matador is smarter.
Muhammad Ali
Prejudice comes from being in the dark sunlight disinfects it.
