One of Ali's favorite quotes is:""The utmost evil is pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison. It was through Pride that the devil became the devil. Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind." C.S. Lewis "And you come back to yourself...to the heart of your inner universe. It is never easy...this quest for meaning, for simplicity. To forget your doubts, your weaknesses, your wounds, your tears, your failures...and to find in yourself the authentic question, your secret sincerity, your fragility. Alone, in a silence that belongs only to you, simply, softly, tenderly. To find yourself again...in the sacred place that He alone knows, and you." Tariq Ramadan "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat" Theodore Roosevelt "Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. ...Expand for more
We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit" Aristotle "Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." Helen Keller "You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle." Steve Jobs "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again. And that is why I succeed." Michael Jordan "I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude." Henry David Thoreau "There are many things in life that will capture your eye, but very few will capture your heart. These are the ones to pursue. These are the ones worth keeping." "Pressure is nothing more than the shadow of great opportunity" "We are who we are and where we are, not only because of our ability, but our choices"". More about Ali:"...humble...focused and obsessively disciplined, believer in fighting for the greater good, driven by an insatiable passion to relentlessly pursue perfection, enjoys taking risks, high on life, natural optimist...fire starter...".
