“My dear boy, the people who love only once in their lives are really the shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect---simply a confession of failures. Faithfulness! I must analyse it some day. The passion for property is in it. There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up. But I don't want to interrupt you. Go on with your story. ” 

“There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating: people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.” 

“A bore is someone who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company.” 

“Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.” 

“Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people we personally dislike.” 

Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much.

“It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.” 

“Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.” 

It's the lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believe in myself. He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life. I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.

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.

People don't realise what they had till it's gone. Like President Kennedy - nobody like him. Like The Beatles, there will never be anything like them. Like my man, Elvis Presley - I was the Elvis of boxing.

Nobody has to tell me that this is a serious business. I'm not fighting one man. I'm fighting a lot of men, showing a lot of 'em, here is one man they couldn't defeat, couldn't conquer. My mission is to bring freedom to 30m black people

This relationship will help guarantee that, for generations to come, people of all nations will understand my beliefs and my purpose

There's a reason I'm known - to bring people to Allah, to God.

Truly great people in history never wanted to be great for themselves. All they wanted was the chance to do good for others and be close to God.

Islam is against killing, terrorism, and murder. People who commit these acts in the name of Islam are wrong. And if I had a chance I would do something about it.

The world badly needs more peaceful and loving men like Sri Chinmoy. I am a Muslim and he is serving all people of peace. Sri Chinmoy is doing so much for the world, for people of all faiths, because of his own peace and faith.

Some people have special resources inside, and when God blesses you to have more than others, you have a responsibility to use it right

There's nothing stressful about turning 50 except people reminding you about it.

What’s my greatest weakness? Sad stories, people with problems

People will know you’re serious when you produce.

To the people that have said I'm too small, I'm not fast enough, I don't have what it takes, I'm not strong enough. THANK YOU

I do need publicity but not for what I do for good. I need publicity for my book. I need publicity for my fights. I need publicity for my movie but not for helping people. Then it is no longer sincere.
