Martin Luther King, Jr

Everybody can be great ... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.

Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.

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

We shall have to repent in this generation , not so much for the evil deeds of the wicked people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.

Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.
