Mohammed Ali - Jan 17, 1942 - Jun 03, 2016

Mohammed Ali, known for his quick wit and mighty punch, was an American professional heavyweight. Considered one of the greatest boxers of all time, he was a 3x's heavyweight champion with 37 knockouts and a 56-5 boxing record. 

These are some of his most famous quotes -

If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.

If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

I'm the greatest thing that ever lived! I'm the king of the world! I'm a bad man. I'm the prettiest thing that ever lived.
