Best Muhammad Ali Quotes
Today is the anniversary of Muhammad Ali's death. He died on this day in 2016 from Septic shock caused by respiratory illness at the age of 74.
Even if you are not a boxing fan (which we are not!), you will know that he was know by many as the Greatest boxer to have ever lived. Born Cassius Clay in Kentucky we changed to Islam and therefore changed his name when he was 22.
Now, he wasn't just known for his boxing feats he was also known for some incredible quotes which have become legendary.
Thought you might like to read some of his most famous (and our favourites):
- "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" - probably his most well known.
- "Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth."
- "Don’t count the days; make the days count." - absolutely love this one
- “It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.”
- “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”
- "A man who views the world the same at 50 as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his 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.'”
- “Live everyday as if it were your last because someday you're going to be right.”
- “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."
- "I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was." - True fake it till you make it mentality!

The following are my favorite quotes:
1. "Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth."
2. “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”
My ultimate favorite quote:
“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."
This is powerful! We actually do have the power to make our own changes in life. We're not stuck just transitioning but, you have to do something in order to make the changes in your life.
Three really stand out for me
"Don’t count the days; make the days count."
“It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.”
“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”
Here are another couple of Ali's which fits the bill in WA:
“If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.”
"Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even."
Thank you for sharing these inspiring and motivational quotes from "The Greatest"
I love all of the quotes and use some of them regularly.
The quotes that stand out to me today are:
"Don't Count the Day; Make the Days Count"
and
"I am the Greatest, I said that even before I knew I was"
Fake until to make is so true because it sets up your mind-set in creating your future.
Yes these quotes are food for thought.
Think it
feel it
see it
have it
Here's to making it happen
Have a GREAT day
Make it count

I am a big Boxing Fan. I truly love Mohammed. I use to box myself a bid . Utter great RESPECT FOR THIS CHAMPION!!!
"I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'”
Thanks Koen. Yes, your favourite is what we all go through sometimes when our online business is not going quite the way we would like!
Love these quotes! Learnt a new and inspiring story from a speech given by Arnold Schwarzenegger on the incredible work ethic of Mohamed Ali. He saw Ali doing sit ups non-stop in the gym one day and asked him how many sits ups he could do. Ali said that he didn’t know, “I only start counting when it hurts”. This is the ultimate challenge to so many of us who stop when it starts to hurts! I think this applies to building our online business in our WA journey, and every other hardship we encounter in life. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks June for commenting. Many of these quotes do indeed go hand in hand with running an online business.
