Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.

His hands can't hit what his eyes can't see.

Now, if I even say the wrong thing I make the news.

I said I was the greatest, not the smartest.

Everything I got comes from Elijah Mohammed. He taught me who I was, he made me proud, he made me fearless, he made me love my own, I’ve turned down millions to keep from selling out my people, the beautiful name Mohammed Ali. And white people cannot destroy me like they have other big ministers of his in the past by telling us oh, you speak good, you should be the leader.White people make me thinkin' that I'm smart, and as soon as I leave Elijah you can get me. But as long as I stay with the Honorable Elijah Mohammed I'm safe.

It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

I think I could beat Joe Frazier singing. I was in a Broadway musical called Big Time Buck Wright.
