Muhammad Ali

What keeps me going is goals.

I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I'm in a world of my own.

I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark.

Everybody is always going to have haters. It comes with the job. You have to have a tough skin and not let it affect you.

I lead no party; I follow no leader. I have given the best part of my life to careful study of Islam, its law and polity, its culture, its history and its literature.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.
