you can't take my joy, devil

Deeper cuts from MLK:

“Difficult and painful as it is, we must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future.”

“You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”

“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there ‘is’ such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.”

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. Nothing worthwhile is easy. Your ability to overcome unfavorable situations will provide you with time to demonstrate your true strength and determination for success. Always set your standards high, your greatest achievements lie within the infinite feats you achieve in your life.”

“It's not the violence of the few that scares me, it's the silence of the many.”

“Courage is an inner resolution to go forward despite obstacles;
cowardice is submissive surrender to circumstances.”

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”
