“There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
“Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.”
“Jean-Michel Basquiat's art, moved our generation in the Samo way, Martin Luther King moved the World; by occupying all of man's, body and mind.”
Enrique Vega
“Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
“Martin Luther King challenged the conscience of my generation, and his words and his legacy continue to move generations to action today at home and around the world. His love and faith is alive in millions of Americans who volunteer each day in soup kitchens or in schools, or who refused to ignore the suffering of millions they'd never met in far-away places when a tsunami brought unthinkable destruction. His vision and his passion is alive in churches and on campuses when millions stand up against the injustice of discrimination anywhere, or the indifference that leaves too many behind.”
Senator John Kerry
“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”
