The thing that you have to understand about those of us in the black muslim movement was that all of us believed 100 percent in the divinity of elijah muhammad. we believed in him. we actually believed that god, in detroit by the way, that god had taught him and all of that. i always believed that he believed in himself. and i was shocked when i found out that he himself didn't believe it.

A powerful athlete is not a strong athlete, but one who can exert his strength quickly. since power equals force times speed, if the athlete learns to make faster movements he increases his power, even though the contractile pulling strength of his muscles remains unchanged. thus, a smaller man who can swing faster may hit as hard or as far as the heavier man who swings slowly.
