"Sometimes you have to not just dream..." - Quote by John Lewis

“Be hopeful. Be optimistic. Never lose that sense of hope.”

“I don't have any extraordinary gifts. I'm just an average Joe who grew up very poor in rural Alabama.”

“Too many people struggled, suffered, and died to make it possible for every American to exercise their right to vote.”

“I write with one hand, but I fight with both.”

“Out of anger comes controversy, out of controversy comes conversation, out of conversation comes action.”

“I would absolutely refuse any direct or indirect war service and would try to persuade my friends to do the same, regardless of the reasons for the cause of a war.”

“Why should Canada, wild and unsettled as it is, impress us as an older country than the States, unless because her institutions are old? All things appeared to contend there, as I have implied, with a certain rust of antiquity, such as forms on old armor and iron guns,--the rust of conventions and formalities. It is said that the metallic roofs of Montreal and Quebec keep sound and bright for forty years in some cases. But if the rust was not on the tinned roofs and spires, it was on the inhabitants and their institutions.”

“Meanness is incurable; it cannot be cured by old age, or by anything else.”

“Old deeds for old people, and new deeds for new.”
