Best Quotes From Muhammad Ali, The Man Who Invented Trash Talk

 

 

The man was a true inspiration and his words deserve attention – we defy you not to read these quotes and not feel empowered:

-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.
-Don’t count the days; make the days count.
-I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was. I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.
-If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it — then I can achieve it.
-He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
-The man with no imagination has no wings.
-Live every day like it’s your last because someday you’re going to be right.

When he wasn’t being an inspiration he was putting down the competition, his trash talk was legendary – hardly surprising as he arguably invented the whole concept:

-If you even dream of beating me, you better wake up and apologize.
-I’m not the greatest; I’m the double greatest. Not only do I knock ’em out, I pick the round.
-I’ve wrestled with alligators, I’ve tussled with a whale, I done handcuffed lightning, And throw thunder in jail. Only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick.
-You been hearing about how bad I am since you were a little kid with mess in your pants! Tonight, I’m gonna whip you till you cry like a baby.
-I’m so mean I make medicine sick.”
-I’m so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and got into bed before the room was dark.
