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

I'm not the greatest; I'm the double greatest. Not only do I knock 'em out, I pick the round.

I don't consider myself no attractive man. People like Tom Jones and Elvis Presley - I'm not nothing like that.

I don't count my situps. I only start counting once it starts hurting.

America don't have no future! America's going to be destroyed! Allah's going to divinely chastise America! Violence, crimes, earthquakes - there's gonna be all kinds of trouble. America's going to pay for all its lynchings and killings of slaves and what it's done to black people.

I'm the king of the world, I am the greatest, I'm Muhammed Ali, I shook up the world, I am the greatest, I'm king of the world, I'm pretty, I'm pretty, I'm a baaaad man, you heard me I'm a baaad man, Archie Moore fell in four, Liston wanted me more, so since he's so great, I'm a make him fall in eight, I'm a baaad man, I'm king of the world! I'm 22 years old and ain't gotta mark on my face, I'm pretty, I easily survived six rounds with that ugly bear, because I am the greatest.

If you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
