The man who has no imagination has no wingsMuhammad Ali
“Those without imagination can never have wings.” These are the words of a man who transcended the title of boxing world champion and called for social reform in America during the Vietnam War.
“Wings” are what carry you to another stage—and perhaps what can lift the world into another phase.
