Rest in Peace, Muhammad Ali

Post Reply New Topic

Hello everybody,

Muhammad Ali, the great heavyweight boxer, passed away yesterday.

He was one of my heroes growing up, even though, later, I wasn't thrilled with the idea that he was a member of the Black Muslims. I think he became conventional Sunni Muslim later, though.

Overall, I think he was a cool guy. I'm going to miss him.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

I like that quote. Here is one of my other favorites of his:

"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."

Yep.....we should live by those words.

Autism tends to make us believe that many things are impossible.

That's very sad news.

That quote Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee is also part of a Kinks song.



A little song to remember him in 1964 by.

That's really shocking news for all of us. I heard the news yesterday while watching news on the TV.

for being somebody who said of himself, "i never said I was the smartest," he sure had a smart way with words.
