If you love God, tear out your heart's love of the world.
Muhammad Ali -
If you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

Whatever the challenge was, however unattainable the goal may have seemed, I never let anyone talk me out of believing in myself.
Muhammad Ali -
Just remember that you don't have to be what they want you to be.
Muhammad Ali -
Eat your words! Eat your words! I am the greatest.
Muhammad Ali -
For the black man to come out superior would be against America's teachings. I have been so great in boxing they had to create an image like Rocky, a white image on the screen, to counteract my image in the ring. America has to have its white images, no matter where it gets them. Jesus, Wonder Woman, Tarzan and Rocky.
Muhammad Ali -
I said to myself, 'the champion of the whole world can whoop every man in Russia, every man in America, every man in China, every man in Japan, every man in Europe - every man in the whole world'.It sounds big, didn't it? So I kept working until I did it.
Muhammad Ali -
I can't see what God's plan is. I just know I've got to live with it.
Muhammad Ali
-
I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me.
Muhammad Ali -
If we were second class citizens we'd be driving old Cadillacs and living good. If we were first class we'd be driving a Rolls Royce.
Muhammad Ali -
We are stone enemies when the bell rings.
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 -
Wars of nations are fought to change maps. But wars of poverty are fought to map change.
Muhammad Ali -
His hands can't hit what his eyes can't see.
Muhammad Ali
-
Who's gonna dare to be great?
Muhammad Ali -
The man who will whip me will be fast, strong and hasn't been born yet.
Muhammad Ali -
Why are they picking on boxing? It's because the black men are so superior in boxing that they want to stop it. Well, the black man's so hungry he's got to fight.
Muhammad Ali -
I'm proud, and Islam did it. And after these things that I heard in church, a preacher and watching this and that, I knew something was wrong but I couldn't pinpoint it.
Muhammad Ali -
Once the Choice is Made, Do Not Look Back, Do Not Second-Guess Your Decisions.
Muhammad Ali -
We must not only control the weapons that can kill us, we must bridge the great disparities of wealth and opportunity among the peoples of the world, the vast majority of whom live in poverty without hope, opportunity or choices in life. These conditions are a breeding ground for division that can cause a desperate people to resort to nuclear weapons as a last resort. Our only hope lies in the power of our love, generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world a better place.

Since I won't let the critics seal my fate, they keep hollering I'm full of hate. But they don't really hurt me none, 'cause I'm doing good and having fun.
Muhammad Ali -
This life is not real. I conquered the world and it did not bring me satisfaction.
Muhammad Ali -
I need to be famous so I can talk about religion. I can talk about God. It's an expensive price that I have to pay to be the most famous man on earth and I do it with pleasure only for God. My fight is only and introduction to the real fight, the one for God. Fighting by itself doesn't interest me anymore. I want to help people, the black people and I need any kind of media to spread my thought: God, charity, peace.
Muhammad Ali -
I strongly object to the fact that so many newspapers have given the American public and the world the impression that I have only two alternatives in taking this stand: either I go to jail or go to the Army. There is another alternative and that alternative is justice. If justice prevails, if my Constitutional rights are upheld, I will be forced to go neither to the Army nor jail. In the end I am confident that justice will come my way for the truth must eventually prevail.
