A LIFE of

INSPIRATION

MUHAMMAD

ALI1942 -2016

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room

here on earth.”

"Humble people,

I've found, don't

get very far,"

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

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

“It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.”

“It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.”

“I know where I'm going and I know the

truth, and I don't have to be what you want

me to be. I'm free to be what I want.”

"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.”

“Impossible is just a big 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 not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is

potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Once asked about his preferred legacy, Ali said:

"I would like to be remembered as a man who won the

heavyweight title three times, who was humorous and

who treated everyone right. As a man who never looked

down on those who looked up to him ... who stood up for

his beliefs ... who tried to unite all humankind through

faith and love.

And if all that's too much, then I guess I'd settle for

being remembered only as a great boxer who became a

leader and a champion of his people. And I wouldn't even

mind if folks forgot how pretty I was."
