“God will not place a burden on a man’s shoulders knowing that he cannot carry it.”

Home is the place you can go when you’re whipped.

What you’re thinking is what you’re becoming.

Our only hope lies in the power of our love, generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world a better place for all.

I try not to speak about all the charities and people I help, because I believe we can only be truly generous when we expect nothing in return.

I am grateful for all my victories, but I am especially grateful for my losses, because they only made me work harder.

Silence is golden when you can’t think of a good answer.

My main fight is for freedom and equality.

If they can make penicillin out of moldy bread, then they can sure make something out of you.

I had it in my heart. I believed in myself, and I had confidence. I knew how to do it, had natural talent and I pursued it.

Tolerance and understanding won’t ‘trickle down’ in our society any more than wealth does.

Allah is the Greatest. I’m just the greatest boxer.

It’s just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

How many push ups do you do? I don’t know. I only starts counting when it starts hurting.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

The sun is always shining someplace.

Rest but never quit. Even the sun has a sinking spell each evening. But it always rises the next morning. At sunrise, every soul is born again.
