Muhammad AliBoxing's a rough sport. After every fight I rush to the mirror to make sure I'm presentable.
Muhammad AliI'll leave you with one that I have hanging on my office wall, compliments of Nike: Impossible is nothing.
Muhammad AliEverything I got comes from Elijah Mohammed. He taught me who I was, he made me proud, he made me fearless, he made me love my own, Iโve turned down millions to keep from selling out my people, the beautiful name Mohammed Ali. And white people cannot destroy me like they have other big ministers of his in the past by telling us oh, you speak good, you should be the leader.White people make me thinkin' that I'm smart, and as soon as I leave Elijah you can get me. But as long as I stay with the Honorable Elijah Mohammed I'm safe.
