QUOTES by MUHAMMAD ALI

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
 I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.
 I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.
I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want. 
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.
 If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life. Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.

Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.

 I believe in the religion of Islam. I believe in Allah and peace.

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

Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do - they all contain truths.


Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong.

The man who has no imagination has no wings.


Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.

It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe.

No one knows what to say in the loser's locker room.

"Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.. Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the...
