January 16, 2023 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, January 16.
On my birthday last year, I took a road trip to Washington D.C. I visited the Martin Luther King Memorial. It’s a quiet place, separated from the other memorials by a grove of trees. It’s dominated by a huge statue of Dr. King, but all around are his words. Here are some of my favorite MLK quotes on this MLK Day.
- "The time is always right to do what’s right."
- "Faith is taking the first step, even when you can’t see the whole staircase."
- "Returning hate for hate only multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars."
- "We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now."
- "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."
- "Out of the mountain of despair - a stone of hope."
- "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
- "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."
Meet you back here tomorrow,
