CELEBRATING DR. KING AND THE "HOPE" HE GAVE US ALL

My foundation is titled the H.O.P.E. Foundation and today, here are some words from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., someone who gave so many hope in some of our nation's most turbulent times:

“A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.

“An individual has not started living until he can rise
above the narrow confines of his individualistic
concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do
that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

“Faith is taking the first step even when you
don't see the whole staircase.

“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is
too great a burden to bear.

“In justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become
silent about things that matter.
