A lie cannot live.
Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.
Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.
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 mainly with values. The two are not rivals.
Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend.
True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.
I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
Songs for today: "I Have A Dream" by Common & Will.I.Am. and "Blackbird" by The Beatles. The first song is one of the few songs I actually enjoy with Will-sir on it. Also, I had no idea the inspiration for Paul McCartney writing "Blackbird" was the turbulent racial tensions in the late 1960s. In fact, "bird" is a common UK expression for woman, so the song also points to black women rising.

My dream is to be free, my dream is to be free... That song is wonderfully special to me.
