A Tribute to the Greatest - Muhammad Ali


There will never be another Muhammad Ali! The expression 'Greater than Life' perfectly applies to him. He had courage, charisma, magnetic appeal, stunning looks, and his whole being was enticing to the entire world. Having adopted Islam as his religion brought about the Christian world’s wrath against him. But he stood against such enormous tide of humanity who opposed him and he rose above it all to shine like the brightest star.

I present to you the following cute quotes by Muhammad Ali

  1. A rooster crows only when it sees the light. Put him in the dark and he'll never crow. I have seen the light and I'm crowing.
