Day 11: βWe have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy." I Have a Dream Speech.
Day 11: "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at the time of challenge and controversy." Strength to Love, 1967,
Day 10: "Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power, religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals with main values. The two are not rivals" ("A Tough Mind and Tender Heart sermon").
Day 9: "We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now because I've been to the mountaintop... I've looked over and I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land."
"For when people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point of victory" "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech April 1968.
Day 7: "Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are" Speech at Barrot Junior High School, October 1967.
Due to the fact I missed the last two days, I will be posting two quotes from the days I missed over the weekend.
Day 3: Intelligence plus character-- that is the goal of true education
Day 4: True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.
Day 2 quote: "I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will hate the final word in reality. This is why right, temporary defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant" Noble Peace Prize acceptance speech, Oslo, Norway, 1964.
