"We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the size of our automobiles, rather than by the quality of our service and relationship to humanity."
"Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a permanent attitude."
"We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope."
"We shall unite together as brothers, or perish together as fools."
"True peace in not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice."
"I have a dream that one day ... our children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
"Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to know Einstein's theory of relativity to serve.... You only need a heart filled with grace. A soul generated by love."
"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."
"Compassion and nonviolence help us to see the enemy's point of view, to hear his questions, to know his assessment of ourselves. For from his view we may indeed see the basic weaknesses of our own condition, and if we are mature, we may learn and grow and profit from the wisdom of the brothers who are called the opposition."
"Love is the most durable power in the world. This creative force so beautifully exemplified in the life of our Christ, is the most potent instrument available in mankind's quest for peace and security."
We cannot change the directions of the wind, but we can adjust our sails.
Have a beautiful day unless you plan otherwise. ... B-)
