I try to learn as much as I can because I know nothing compared to what I need to know.

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

I'll tell you how I'd like to be remembered: As a black man who won the heavyweight title - Who has humorous and who never looked down on those who looked up to him - A man who stood for freedom, justice and equality - And I wouldn't even mind if folks forgot how pretty I was.

When I meet a new person, I don’t see race or religion. I look deeper. We must learn to satisfy our conflicts peacefully and to respect one another.

Rest but never quit. Even the sun has a sinking spell each evening. But it always rises the next morning. At sunrise, every soul is born again.

The world’s champ should be pretty like me!

There are two things that are hard to hit and see. That's a spooky ghost and Muhammad Ali.
