One of the greats.

Some of Ali’s Top Quotes:

“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.”

“Float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee. You can’t hit what your eyes don’t see.”

“Don’t count the days. Make the days count.”

“I hated every minute of training, but I said ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life a champion.”

“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 am free to be what I want.”
