“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
“What affects one in a major way, affects all in a minor way.”
“The poor in our countries have been shut out of our minds and driven from the mainstream of our societies, because we have allowed them to become invisible.”
More on Legacy
“The best argument I know for an immortal life is the existence of a man who deserves one.”
“I am convinced that the greatest legacy we can leave our children are happy memories: those precious moments so much like pebbles on the beach that are plucked from the white sand and placed in tiny boxes that lay undisturbed on tall shelves until one day they spill out and time repeats itself, with joy and sweet sadness, in the child now an adult.”
“Ideas are intangible forces, but they have more power than the physical brains that give birth to them. They have the power to live on, after the brain that creates them has returned to dust.”
More on Purpose
“It is a grand thing to see a man thoroughly possessed with one master-passion. Such a man is sure to be strong, and if the master-principle be excellent, he is sure to be excellent, too.”
“Do not lose hold of your dreams or aspirations. For if you do, you may still exist but you have ceased to live.”
“Excellence or virtue in a man will be the disposition which renders him a good man and also which will cause him to perform his function well.”
