Take the first step of faith.You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved

in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.

I have decided to stick with love.

Hate is too great a burden to bear.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance

and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically.

Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of education.

To be a Christian without praying is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.

Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness.

The quality, not the longevity, of one’s life is what’s important.

Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, “What are you doing for others?”
