This relationship will help guarantee that, for generations to come, people of all nations will understand my beliefs and my purpose

I calculate that I took 20,000 punches, but I earned millions and kept a lot of it. I may talk slow, but my mind is OK.

God gave me this illness to remind me that I'm not Number One; He is.

There are more pleasant things to do than beat up people.

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.

To the people that have said I'm too small, I'm not fast enough, I don't have what it takes, I'm not strong enough. THANK YOU

I would like to say that whites jumped right behind Malcolm X. They’re makin’ a book about him, it’s required readin’ in all colleges now, and they’re makin’ a movie about him, and projectin’ him as the leader and if you read his book and see the movie that’s comin’ out, it’ll make you hate Elijah Mohammed and the Muslims. Mainly, this is done to turn the black people against the real leader and I’d like to say that this is the way white people rule.
