Now I had won the gold medal. But it didn't mean anything, because I didn't have the right color skin.

What’s my greatest weakness? Sad stories, people with problems

I've got it! I've got it! It'll make front-page headlines around the world. You can have me kidnapped, and then a couple of days before the fight I'll show up again

I have nothing to lose by standing up and following my beliefs. So I'll go to jail, so what? We have been in jail for years.

Martin Luther King was bumped off unjustly, Adam Clayton Powell was bumped off unjustly, they took my title unjustly, they killed Megers Ever unjustly, all the integrators who love white folks, was unjustly kicked out of Washington, they've been deprived of education and poverty throughout the country.

How many push ups do you do? I don't know. I only starts counting when it starts hurting

If you were surprised when Nixon resigned, just watch what happens when I whup Foreman's behind!
