WORDSofWISDOM&RELEVENCE


“If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” —Malcolm X.

 

“Nearly all men can stand the test of adversity, but if you really want to test a man's character, give him power.” —Abraham Lincoln

 

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.” —Bishop Desmond Tutu


“No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.” —Martin Luther King Jr.
