"...a fighter can condition his body to go hard certain rounds, then to coast certain rounds."

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

"Float like a butterfly.
Sting like a bee.
Your hands can't hit
what your eyes can't see."

"All I want now is to be a nice, clean gentleman. I've proved my point. Now I'm going to set an example for all the nice boys and girls. I'm through talking."
"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."
"A rooster crows only when it sees the light. Put him in the dark and he'll never crow. I have seen the light and I'm crowing."

"Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams — they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do — they all contain truths."
"I'm a Muslim. I've been a Muslim for 20 years. . . . You know me. I'm a boxer. I've been called the greatest. People recognize me for being a boxer and a man of truth. I wouldn't be here representing Islam if it were terrorist. . . . I think all people should know the truth, come to recognize the truth. Islam is peace."
"Prejudice comes from being in the dark; sunlight disinfects it."
"Ain't no reason for me to kill nobody in the ring."

"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."

"People don't realize what they had till it's gone. Like President Kennedy - nobody like him. Like The Beatles, there will never be anything like them. Like my man, Elvis Presley - I was the Elvis of boxing.''
"It's hard to be humble, when you're as great as I am."
"Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong."
"It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself."
"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: A desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill."
"It's not bragging if you can back it up."
"I am America. I am the part you won't recognize, but get used to me. Black, confident, cocky -- my name, not yours. My religion, not yours. My goals, my own. Get used to me."

"The man who has no imagination has no wings."
