“As if the weight of such a commitment to life and health of America were not enough, another burden of responsibility was placed upon me in 1964; and I cannot forget that the Nobel Peace Prize was also a commission, a commission to work harder than I had ever worked before for the brotherhood of man. This is a calling that takes me beyond national allegiances.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“But it was not only by this feeling, as Varvara thought, that he was guided. Mingling with his pride, with his need always to be first, was another motive, at which Varvara did not guess - a truly religious urge.

To God, to the faith of his childhood, which had never lost its hold upon him.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy

They may begin to feel that they are being pulled apart because everywhere they look there is someone wanting them to do something
Joyce Meyer
