Inside of a ring or out, ain't nothing wrong with going down. It's staying down that's wrong.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Why do I want my wife to show off her panties when the wind blows? Horses show their behinds, and cows and mules, not humans.
Muhammad Ali
Image
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.

The word 'Islam' means 'peace.' The word 'Muslim' means 'one who surrenders to God.' But the press makes us seem like haters.

The word had spread and people were piling around us. But then very suddenly, Sonny Liston froze me with that look of his. He said real quiet, 'Let's go on over here.' And he led the way to a table and the people hung back. I ain't going to lie. This was the only time since I have known Sonny Liston that he really scared me.

You can be free. You can be black. Look at me! I'm the Heavyweight Champion! Can't nobody stop me.

I had it in my heart. I believed in myself, and I had confidence. I knew how to do it, had natural talent and I pursued it.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Wouldn't it be a beautiful world if just 10 percent of the people who believe in the power of love would compete with one another to see who could do the most good for the most people?
Muhammad Ali
Image
I was always curious. I always wondered why Tarzan is the King of the Jungle in Africa, he was white.

Anyhow, I don't think Don King's a very good man. But then again, I doubt that a good man *could* succeed in his business. I'm sure boxing was a dirty sport before he came around. He may have just made it moreso. So that's about all I've got to say about him.

Malcolm X got famous mainly by being hard on white people, white devils, blue-eyed blond-headed dogs.
Muhammad Ali
Image
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
Image
I live. I travel. I eat. I pray. These are the things I do. I'd rather be in my condition than be a man with four children in a four-bedroom house, working hard every day to pay for his house, taking his children to school.

I was always at the gymnasium every day at six o'clock after school. In the mornings I would run, looking forward to future golden gloves and Olympic tournaments.

I believe in the religion of Islam. I believe in Allah and peace.
