This man is one of my most favorite people who ever lived. When I think of who he was and how he lived out his beliefs with his community, I hardly know what to do with myself. The man was amazing. He and the people who followed his lead did so much to demand that this country and its people actually live up to its ideals that it so proudly claimed. So in light of celebrating his birthday today, I will leave you with a few of my favorite quotes. I hope you find them as inspiring as I do.
"Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness."
"Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it."
"Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute understanding from people of ill will."
"Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows."
There are oh so many more great things that he has said and done. I urge you to read about him and be inspired.
