I Believe That Words Are Powerful

"My soul has grown over the years, and some of my views have changed. As long as I am alive, I will continue to try to understand more because the work of the heart is never done."
— "The Soul of a Butterfly: Reflections on Life's Journey" (2004), written with Hana Yasmeen Ali.

Addendum: I recently watched a TV documentary hosted by Frank Skinner (he’s a British comedian and broadcaster) about Muhammad Ali. Skinner is a huge fan of Ali.

At the end of the documentary, we see Skinner standing at Ali’s graveside giving his concluding monologue about the great man. He’s visibly very emotional and on the verge of tears.

The camera briefly rests on Ali’s tombstone where these words are engraved:

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room in Heaven.”

Says it all really.
