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 AliI just can't see myself with a man on the ropes and just to prove how bad I am - and I see in his eyes, his head, he's hopeless - and I'm just deliberately hitting. I don't do that.
Muhammad AliWhen I heard the truth about my name was not Cassius Clay, like I knew a black man in America named John Hawkins. Now, you know who John Hawkins was.He was a slave trader from England. But the white people of that time, if one had five slaves and his name was Jones, they would be called Jones' property. [...] Now that I'm free, now that I'm no longer a slave, then I want a name of my ancestors.
Muhammad AliI would like to say that whites jumped right behind Malcolm X. Theyโre makinโ a book about him, itโs required readinโ in all colleges now, and theyโre makinโ a movie about him, and projectinโ him as the leader and if you read his book and see the movie thatโs cominโ out, itโll make you hate Elijah Mohammed and the Muslims. Mainly, this is done to turn the black people against the real leader and Iโd like to say that this is the way white people rule.
