“Instinctively we struck out for dignity first because personal degradation as an inferior human being was even more keenly felt than material privation.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“And indeed, if Evgeny Irtenev was mentally ill, then all people are just as mentally ill, and the most mentally ill are undoubtably those who see signs of madness in others that they do not see in themselves.”
Leo Tolstoy

“I know, I have seen, the desperation and disorder of the powerless: how it twists the lives of children on the streets of Jakarta or Nairobi in much the same way as it does the lives of children on Chicago’s South Side, how narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury, how easily they slip into violence and despair. I know that the response of the powerful to this disorder—alternating as it does between a dull complacency and, when the disorder spills out of its proscribed confines, a steady, unthinking application of force, of longer prison sentences and more sophisticated military hardware—is inadequate to the task. I know that the hardening of lines, the embrace of fundamentalism and tribe, dooms us all. And so what was a more interior, intimate effort on my part, to understand this struggle and to find my place in it, has converged with a broader public debate, a debate in which I am professionally engaged, one that will shape our lives and the lives of our children for many years to come.
Barack Obama

“The more you know, the more you know you don't know. Stay curious.”
Bruce Lee

“The way for a young man to rise, is to improve himself every way he can, never suspecting that any body wishes to hinder him.”

“I never hold grudges; while you’re holding a grudge, they’re out dancing.”

“It always seems impossible until it's done.” 
Nelson Mandela

“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but an encouraging word makes it glad. PROVERBS 12:25”
