"I don’t waste my time with it. When it comes I won’t even notice … I’ll be too busy lookin’ good!"

"God is watching me. God don’t praise me because I beat Joe Frazier. God don’t give nothing about Joe Frazier. God don’t care nothing about England or America as far as we aware of. He wants to know how do we treat each other, how do we help each other. So I’m going to dedicate my life to using my name and popularity to helping charities, helping people, uniting people…..we need somebody in the world to help us all make peace. So when I die, if there’s a heaven, I want to see it." - #MuhammadAli (Picture taken from Muhammad's last ever photoshoot)

"Don't ever give up on yourself. Keep pushing because the change of guards is what life's all about. You've always got to stick with whatever you're into because you're day is going to come. You're day is destined. If you walk away from that, whether it be from fear or whether you're just giving up. The greatest sin is fear and giving up." --Nas #neverGiveUp #destiny #noFear #theChosen #BlackKnowledge #black #blacklove #african #africanamerican #blacklivesmatter #BlackEmpowerment #BlackIsBeautiful #StayWoke

"Get organized. Three things that all of our great minds did is: #Study – you have to educate yourself not to the point where you become so arrogant that nobody can tell you anything. #Struggle – you have to participate in some sort of action, some sort of activity that benefits the collective. Whether that’s a study group, a homeless shelter, a soup kitchen…do something positive (like) a rites of passage program. We are born to serve each other. We serve the Most High through serving each other. #Serve. What are you doing to serve your people? The third thing is the dissemination of information. We have to #educate. Whether that’s a website, newsletter, radio show, a newspaper… we have to disseminate the information, because the propaganda war is the most brutal war. Marcus Garvey said more people have been murdered through propaganda than any other means because propaganda kills the desire to believe you can do by putting out information to the contrary. Propaganda is the art of forming people’s opinions for them." --Umar Johnson #BlackKnowledge #black #blacklove #african #africanamerican #blacklivesmatter #BlackEmpowerment #BlackIsBeautiful #StayWoke #identity #knowledgeofself #goals

"Do you think hatred and evil will go unpunished? The world is now feeling the heat... from flames it has kept burning since the beginning of civilization. You represent that fire. You and I are just a small part of God's plan. The evil men of this world have applied every method possible... to deceive its occupants. And each time with greater success than anticipated."
