"I figure I'll be champ for about ten years and then I'll let my brother take over - like the Kennedy..." — Muhammad Ali

My lectures, based on Islamic teachings, were on various subjects. Some of the titles were, 'The Intoxication of Life,' 'The Purpose of Life,' 'The Real Cause of Man's Distress,' 'The Journey to the Goal in Life,' and, one of my favorites, 'The Heart of Man.' They contained important insights that spoke to something deep inside me.

White people just don't want their slaves to be free. That's the whole thing.

I'm no leader; I'm a little humble follower.

We who follow the teachings of Elijah Muhammad don't want to be forced to integrate. Integration is wrong. We don't want to live with the white man; that's all.
