You could be the world’s best garbage man, the world’s best model; it don’t matter what you do if you’re the best.

You don’t have to be in a boxing ring to be a great fighter. As long as you are true to yourself, you will succeed in your fight for that in which you believe.

Muhammad Ali

You lose nothing when fighting for a cause… In my mind the losers are those who don’t have a cause they care about.

Muhammad Ali

Your hands can’t hit what your eyes can’t see.

A black, a Puerto Rican and a Mexican are in a car. Who’s driving? The police.

A long time ago, I took a walk down a street in Harlem in New York City. I came upon a man who asked me for a dollar. He had asked a few other people before me, but they only passed him by without glancing his way. I stopped and handed the man some money. As I began to turn away, he reached out and shook my hand. He looked me in the eyes and said, “I will bless you.” Now, I’m not saying that was God Himself. But how do we know that it wasn’t someone working for him, walking around in disguise, just to see what we would do?

Muhammad Ali

All black Americans have slave names. They have white names; names that the slave master has given to them.
