He never gave up. And he does that for us

Steven Spielberg
About This Quote

The man in the photo is Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest athletes to ever live. He has been called “The Greatest” for good reason, but his greatest glory was not in never falling. That’s not what made him great. What made him great was his ability to rise every time he fell.

He fought in the ring when he was too old to win anymore. He gave up being the champ because he had lost his desire to do it anymore. He did that for us because we needed him to rise again.

The same is true for every other fighter who wants greatness for himself or his craft.
