Once we realize we are all members of humanity, we will want to compete in the spirit of love

I try not to speak about all the charities and people I help, because I believe we can only be truly generous when we expect nothing in return.

The woman is the fiber of the nation. She is the producer of life. A nation is only as good as its women.

I wasn't thinking of being the greatest. But I knew I had a chance.

When my title was taken away boxing died.

The same people that are with me for not going to Vietnam because I saved them and their children.The same people will give me hell if I turn to them and say, 'let's free my people now'.They're with me on one part of my beliefs about the war, that's all. Not for my freedom.

Whether it's boxing, basketball, or badminton, one must be ready to succeed before entering the arena...long before the lights come up.
