“In a competition of love we'll all share in the victory, no matter who comes first.”
Muhammad Ali könyv The Soul of a Butterfly
Forrás: The Soul of a Butterfly (2004), p. xxiv
Kontextus: Once we realize we are all members of humanity, we will want to compete in the spirit of love.
In a competition of love we would not be running against one another, but with one another. We would be trying to gain victory for all humanity. If I am a faster runner than you, you may feel bad seeing me pass you in the race, but if you know that we are both racing to make our world better, you will feel good knowing that we are racing toward a common goal, a mutual reward.
In a competition of love we'll all share in the victory, no matter who comes first.

Forrás: The Soul of a Butterfly (2004), p. xvi
Kontextus: Over the years my religion has changed and my spirituality has evolved. Religion and spirituality are very different, but people often confuse the two. Some things cannot be taught, but they can be awakened in the heart. Spirituality is recognizing the divine light that is within us all. It doesn't belong to any particular religion; it belongs to everyone.
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.”
Változat: Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
