Ali "The Greatest", would be greatly missed.
Here are some quotes by the greatest.
"I don't count the sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting because they're the only ones that count. That's what makes you a champion."
"Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer."
"I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world."
"It isn't the mountains ahead that wear you down. It's the pebble in your shoe."
"The will must be stronger than the skill."
"Don't count the days. Make the days count."
"I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was. I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I was really the greatest."
"The fight is won or lost far away from the witnesses, behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights."
"Float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee. You can't hit what your eyes don't see."
"Impossible is just a word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."
Rest In Peace "The Greatest"
