Muslim prayers over the body of Muhammad Ali will be witnessed worldwide Thursday, offering a window into a religion many outsiders know little about, but have come to scorn.

Paul Simon was nearly finished with the 1969 Simon & Garfunkel classic "The Boxer" at a concert in Berkeley, California, on Friday night when he paused the song to give a fitting tribute to Muhammad Ali, breaking it to the crowd that the "the Greatest" had died.

Muhammad Ali entertained the world for more than half a century with his legendary one-liners, witticisms and diatribes. BBC Sport rounds up some of the greatest utterings of 'The Greatest', ranging from boxing to politics to religion.
