  • "I have the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day for their tired bodies, education and culture for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, men other-centered can build up. I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the alters of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and non-violent redemptive goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land 'and the lion and the lamb shall lie down together and every man shall sit under his own vine and fig tree and none shall be afraid.' I still believe that we shall overcome."

    Martin Luther King, Jr.

  • Over the weekend, a girl I was talking to justified narcotic indulgence quoting MLK. I laughed.

    " believe that what self-centered men have torn down, men other-centered can build up."

    I've finally bought into this part of it.

  • MLK had many good things to say.  I love to see him quoted.
