You dont lose if you get knocked down; you lose if you stay down.

Lakes, rivers, streams...all are water and all travel to the same destination. So it is with religion.

I came back to Louisville after the Olympics with my shiny gold medal. Went into a luncheonette where black folks couldn't eat. Thought I'd put them on the spot. I sat down and asked for a meal. The Olympic champion wearing his gold medal. They said, "We don't serve niggers here." I said, "That's okay, I don't eat 'em." But they put me out in the street. So I went down to the river, the Ohio River, and threw my gold medal in it.

What counts in the ring is what you can do after you're exhausted. The same is true of life.

Will be a divine fight, a holy war...Armageddon on a miniature scale.

I'm relyin' on Almighty God, Allah, and whatever happens happens.
