"The crowd did not dream when they..." - Quote by Muhammad Ali

“Stay in college, get the knowledge. And stay there until you're through. If they can make penicillin out of moldy bread, they can sure make something out of you. Advice to a young person to continue his education.”

“In the ring I can stay until I’m old and gray because I know how to hit and dance away”

“Whether it's boxing, basketball, or badminton, one must be ready to succeed before entering the arena...long before the lights come up.”

“I hated the sight on TV of big, clumsy, lumbering heavyweights plodding, stalking each other like two Frankenstein monsters, clinging, slugging toe to toe. I knew I could do it better ... circle, dance, shuffle, hit and move ... make an art out of it.”

“I’m young, I’m handsome, I’m fast, I’m pretty, and can’t possibly be beat. They must fall in the round I call.”

“Do you know why I’m the fastest heavyweight in the world? I’m the only heavyweight that trains underwater!”

“If this is victory, then our hands are too small to hold it.”

“We have beaten the living, but we cannot fight the dead.”

“But fight we must; and conquer we shall; in the end.”
