MUHAMMAD ALI QUOTES
"I strongly object to the fact that so many newspapers have given the American public and the world the impression that I have only two alternatives in taking this stand: either I go to jail or go to the Army. There is another alternative and that alternative is justice. If justice prevails, if my Constitutional rights are upheld, I will be forced to go neither to the Army nor jail. In the end I am confident that justice will come my way for the truth must eventually prevail." —from his official statement refusing induction to the armed forces (1967) | |
| "I'm the best. I just haven't played yet." —when asked about his golf game | "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." —catchphrase said to have originated with his aide Drew "Bundini" Brown (1964) |
| "I have the world heavyweight title not because it was 'given' to me, not because of my race or religion, but because I won it in the ring through my own boxing ability." —from his official statement refusing induction to the armed forces (1967) | |
| "Howard Cosell was gonna be a boxer when he was a kid—only they couldn't find a mouthpiece big enough." —joking about the longtime ABC-TV boxing broadcaster (1974) | "At home I am a nice guy—but I don't want the world to know. Humble people, I've found, don't get very far." —Sunday Express (London) |
