“Mr. Right is coming, but he's in Africa and he's walking.”
Oprah Winfrey

“You may well ask: “Why direct action? Why sit-ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?” You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue.
Martin Luther King Jr

“It has actually become very necessary in our time to rebut the theory that every firm and serious friendship is really homosexual.”

“if you expect to be successful, you will eventually be successful. If you expect to be happy and popular, you will be happy and popular.

Brian Tracy

“More than a building that houses books and data, the library has always been a window to a larger world--a place where we've always come to discover big ideas and profound concepts that help move the American story forward. . . . . Libraries remind us that truth isn't about who yells the loudest, but who has the right information. Because even as we're the most religious of people, America's innovative genius has always been preserved because we also have a deep faith in facts. And so the moment we persuade a child, any child, to cross that threshold into a library, we've changed their lives forever, and for the better. This is an enormous force for good.”
Barack Obama

“Sooner or later, we are going to face death; should we be making preparations while we are living?”
