Muhammad Ali
No one knows what to say in the loser's locker room.
My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.
My toughest fight was with my first wife.
Love is a net that catches hearts like a fish.
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.
It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.
It's not bragging if you can back it up.
It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.
It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.
It's hard to be humble, when you're as great as I am.
It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe.
If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.
If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.
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'm the best. I just haven't played yet.
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.
I'm not the greatest; I'm the double greatest. Not only do I knock 'em out, I pick the round.
I'll beat him so bad he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on.
I'll be floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee.
I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world.
