Lightning makes no sound until it strike
American Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement.
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will
There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life, devoid of breadth
We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right
Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness

The most interesting information comes from children, for they tell all they know and then stop
The biggest shame is, to mock at something that you have in yourself.
Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again
Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love
