When you saw me in the boxing ring fighting, it wasn't just so I could beat my opponent. My fighting had a purpose. I had to be successful in order to get people to listen to the things I had to say.

I said I was the greatest, not the smartest.

My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.

I'm gonna have to be killed before I lose, and I ain't going to die easy.

Our only hope lies in the power of our love, generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world a better place for all.

All of us are so mixed. My great-grandfather was white.

True giving happens when we give from our heart.
