Two days ago we lost Muhammad Ali.  If you want to reflect upon how remarkable he was, look beyond his audacity and performance in the ring -- stunning as they were.  Think about who he was at what time in history.
He always had a lot to say to people in the arena since that was where he was raised.  Here is a sampling for those of building something from nothing -- any of us trying to make impact in any way:
 1) "I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want."
 2) "I should be a postage stamp. That's the only way I'll ever get licked."
