Five quotes that touched me and continue to inspire me from Muhammad Ali are:

Each of these quotes are inspiring to me because they push me to the the greatest version of myself I can be. Muhammad Ali was the greatest and his words were the way in which he pushed us all to be the greatest. His fight against Parkinson's disease didn't defeat him and he is remembered as a legend, activist, and a champion. May he rest in peace and may the world forever remember Muhammad Ali.
