we remember an American icon and a personal hero of mine today, stood up against a prejudiced nation and changed it. Some quotes of his that I've always loved...

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction....The chain reaction of evil--hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars--must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.

The bombs in Vietnam explode at home; they destroy the hopes and possibilities for a decent America.

If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.

We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.


This one has just always been my favorite...

If you can?t fly, run. If you can?t run, walk. If you can?t walk, crawl. But by all means, keep moving.
