Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything. •Muhammad Ali Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay awhile, make footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same. •Unknown Make new friends but keep the old ones; one is silver and the other's gold. •Anonymous My friend, why have you drifted so far away?

I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me.

Fifteen referees. I want fifteen referees to be at this fight because there ain't no one man who can keep up with the pace I'm gonna set except me. There's not a man alive who can whup me. I'm too fast. I'm too smart. I'm too pretty. I should be a postage stamp. That's the only way I'll ever get licked.
