"If a man has not discovered anything..." - Quote by Martin Luther King Jr

“The soft-minded man always fears change. He feels security in the status quo, and he has an almost morbid fear of the new. For him, the greatest pain is the pain of a new idea.”

“We must develop a federal program of public works, retraining, and jobs for all - so that none, white or black, will have cause to feel threatened. . . There is nothing except shortsightedness to prevent us from guaranteeing an annual minimum and livable income for every American family.”

“By its very nature, hate destroys and tears down; by its very nature, love creates and builds up.”

“Men are born to succeed, not to fail.”

“There is a place for everyone, man and woman, old and young, hale and halt; service in a thousand forms is open. There is no room now for the dilettante, the weakling, for the shirker, or the sluggard. From the highest to the humblest tasks, all are of equal honor; all have their part to play.”

“There are two things that I want you to make up your minds to: first, that you are going to have a good time as long as you live - I have no use for the sour-faced man - and next, that you are going to do something worthwhile, that you are going to work hard and do the things you set out to do.”

“Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion, I spent the rest of the day putting the pieces together.”

“The direction of your focus is the direction your life will move. Let yourself move toward what is good, valuable, strong and true”

“Remember that even if you were to live for three thousand years, or thirty thousand, you could not lose any other life than the one you have, and there will be no other life after it. So the longest and the shortest lives are the same. The present moment is shared by all living creatures, but the time that is past is gone forever. No one can lose the past or the future, for if they don't belong to you, how can they be taken from you?”
