| gptkbp:famousQuote |
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?' The time is always right to do what is right. Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase. We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. |
