The man in three quotes:

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can’t hit what the eyes can’t see.”

“I done wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale; handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail; only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick; I’m so mean I make medicine sick.”

 “Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?”

Muhammad Ali, boxer, poet and man of principle

Rest in Peace Champ
