"I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Some people are like wheels--they don't work unless they're pushed
"Some people are like trailers--they have to be pulled!
"Some people are like kites--always up in the air, and if you don't keep a string on them, they fly away!
"Some people are like canoes--they have to be paddled.
"Some people are like footballs--you never know which way they are going to bounce next!
"Some people are like balloons--always puffed up, and you never know when they are going to blow up!
"Some people are like flat tires--they have to be jacked up!
"Some people are like good watches--pure gold, open faced, always on time, dependable, quietly busy and just full of good works!"
- Dennis Kimbro
