| �America is not like a blanket�one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt�many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven together by a common thread�. all of us fit in somewhere.� [in a July 16, 1984 speech to the Democratic National Convention]
�Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up.� �Nothing about our faith makes us pain-proof. It does hurt. It does make us cry. And we must dry our eyes and continue the work until our time is finished.� �Where there is hope there is life, where there is life there is possibility, and where there is possibility change can occur.� |
