I'm the most recognized and loved man that ever lived cuz there weren't no satellites when Jesus and Moses were around, so people far away in the villages didn't know about them.

I was always at the gymnasium every day at six o'clock after school. In the mornings I would run, looking forward to future golden gloves and Olympic tournaments.

There is one hell of a difference between fighting in the ring and going to war in Vietnam.

Every time I look in the mirror, I see that kid from Louisville, Kentucky, staring back at me. His name was Cassius Clay.

I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark.

What counts in the ring is what you can do after you're exhausted. The same is true of life.

My toughest fight was with my first wife.
