The only limitations one has are the ones one places on oneself.
Live everyday as if it were your last because someday you’re going to be right.
A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.
God will not place a burden on a man’s shoulders knowing that he cannot carry it.
I’ve never really resented hard work because I’ve always liked it. Up every morning for roadwork. Going to the gymnasium every day at 12 o’clock. I never change my pattern.
Someone stole my bicycle and I said I was going to learn to fight so that I could catch him and beat him up. But I never did catch him. But I ended up the champ of the whole world.
Women are not equal with men, that’s sure. When a woman is in danger, she always looks to a man for help. We are superior by nature. Black or white women needn’t worry in life because the world is ruled by white men.
I’m The Greatest, but only in relation to fighting.
Fighting by itself doesn’t interest me anymore. I want to help people, the black people and I need any kind of media to spread my thought: God, charity, peace.
I don’t know how many millions I’ll make, so I have to give some back to charity. God blesses me with the money, but only if I give some away.
I never push in front my muscles, only my religion, so I’m protected.
My main purpose is to pray five times a day. And that’s not easy.
I live. I travel. I eat. I pray. These are the things I do. I’d rather be in my condition than be a man with four children in a four-bedroom house, working hard every day to pay for his house, taking his children to school.
I wasn’t thinking of being the greatest. But I knew I had a chance.
No nation can rise to the height of glory unless your women are side by side with you.
We should have a State in which we could live and breathe as free men and which we could develop according to our own lights and culture and where principles of Islamic social justice could find free play.
And so it has taken me all of sixty years to understand that water is the finest drink, and bread the most delicious food. and that art is worthless unless it plants a measure of splendor in people’s hearts.
No nation can ever be worthy of its existence that cannot take its women along with the men. No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men. There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.
It is the cannon of God that He leads man where his will perishes.
Born pure, we grow into the impurities of our society, traditions, and enslave ourselves to our own desires.
The youth looking for peace, running behind satisfaction and calling it happiness.
