Let's look at some famous words by Ali -

6. If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologise.

7. Braggin' is when a person says something and can’t do it. I do what I say.

8. I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.

9. Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.

10. I should be a postage stamp. That's the only way I'll ever get licked.

11. He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

12. A man who views the world the same at 50 as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.

13. I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'

14. I’ve wrestled with alligators. I’ve tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning. And throw thunder in jail.

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