More quotes by Muhammad Ali
The word 'Islam' means 'peace.' The word 'Muslim' means 'one who surrenders to God.' But the press makes us seem like haters.
Muhammad Ali
My soul has grown over the years, and some of my views have changed. As long as I am alive, I will continue to try to understand more because the work of the heart is never done.
Muhammad Ali
Enjoy your children, even when they don't act the way you want them to.
Muhammad Ali
I can't see what God's plan is. I just know I've got to live with it.
Muhammad Ali
I said I was the greatest, not the smartest.

To be a follower of The Honorable Elijah Mohammed, you have to completely extain from alcohol, or fornication, adultered, killin', stealin', lyin'. I would say that the people are not rejectin' the Honorable Elijah Mohammed because they don't believe what he teach.
Muhammad Ali
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.
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
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
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
It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
Muhammad Ali
They can boo me, yell at me, and throw peanuts at me, as long as they pay to get in.
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
When you can whip any man in the world, you never know peace.
Muhammad Ali
I'm sure no intelligent white person, in his or her right white mind, want black men and women marrying their white sons and daughters and in return introducing their grandchildren to half brown, kinky haired black people.
Muhammad Ali
I'll destroy you. I am the master of disaster.
Muhammad Ali
In the big leagues everyone has ability. It always comes down to mind games. Who ever is more mentally strong-wins.
Muhammad Ali
If you look at the world the same way when you're 50 that you did when you were 20, then you wasted 30 years.
Muhammad Ali
When I meet a new person, I don’t see race or religion. I look deeper. We must learn to satisfy our conflicts peacefully and to respect one another.
Muhammad Ali
That man was beautiful. Timing, speed, reflexes, rhythm, his body, everything was beautiful. And to me, still, I would say pound for pound... I'd say I'm the greatest heavyweight of all time, but pound for pound, I still say Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest of all time.
Muhammad Ali
