Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.

“The personality of a person, the ways of a person, the thoughts, the deeds, and the actions. It’s all based around his heart. For what is a man? A man is his heart! A lying, cheating heart, means a lying, cheating man. A loving, merciful heart, means a loving, merciful man.

A living heart means a living man. A dead heart, means a dead man. Regardless of man’s title, regardless of man’s wealth, rank or position. If the heart is not great, then he cannot not be great. But, if the heart is great, that man remains great under all circumstances. Rich or poor, large or small, so does the heart that make one large or small⁣.”— Muhammad Ali
