Dear Readers:
The DC Lights tour has a lot on
it. Next up was the Martin Luther King
Jr. Memorial. Another one with great
quotes, and also wistful longing for such individuals in the public sphere. And so full, it will take this entire
post! Some examples:
“If we are to have peace on earth, our
loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must
transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we
must develop a world perspective.”
“I have the audacity to believe that peoples
everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture
of their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits. I believe
that what self-centered men have torn down, men other-centered can build up I
still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be
crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive goodwill
will proclaim the rule of the land.”
"Every nation
must now develop an overriding loyalty to mankind as a whole in order to
preserve the best in their individual societies."
“True peace is not merely the absence of
tension—it is the presence of justice.”
