An true man. Someone to not only be idolised as a boxer, but even as a human being. Its a sad time we live in, RIP.
Even his quotes are legendary!
"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."
"Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you haven't really leanred anything."
"Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth."
"It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear your out; it's the pebble in your shoe."
"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."
"If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you."
"Impossible is just a big words thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explorte the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinon. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."
"If my mind can conveive it, and my heart can believe it - then I can achieve it."
"Don't count the days' make the days count."
