Tom Brady was among the athletes paying tribute to Muhammad Ali on Saturday. In a Facebook post, the Patriots’ quarterback shared a photo of himself with the three-time heavyweight champion.

Ali passed away on Friday at age 74.

Brady’s remembrance also included an inspirational quote by Ali, an icon in and out of the boxing ring:

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
