Muhammad Ali is the greatest boxer of all time, but he also was a master of the English language. Here are some of his all-time greatest quotes:
"I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'"
"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."
"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."
"If you even dream of beating me you better wake up and apologize."
"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."
"Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are."
"Wars of nations are fought to change maps. But wars of poverty are fought to map change."
"I've made my share of mistakes along the way; but if I have changed even one life for the better, I haven't lived in vain."
"To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way you will be truly rich."
"No one knows what to say in the loser's locker room."
"It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe."
"The man who has no imagination has no wings."
"I am an ordinary man who worked hard to develop the talent that I was given. I believed in myself, and I believe in the goodness of others."
"My principles are more important than the money or my title."
"I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world."
