Muhammad Ali Trying Quotations

The Nation of Islam's main focus was teaching black pride and self-awareness. Why should we keep trying to force ourselves into white restaurants and schools when white people didn't want us? Why not clean up our own neighborhoods and schools instead of trying to move out of them and into white people's neighborhoods?

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 try to learn as much as I can because I know nothing compared to what I need to know.

I'm not trying to get power over white. I'm involved in a freedom struggle. Not a power struggle.

We're not trying to take power away or rule anybody - we're just trying to get up from under the rulers.

I just try to stay half way decent looking. Boxing's a rough sport and you get hit a lot.
