Great quotes by Muhammad Ali
"I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion".
"Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill".
