QUOTES

"I know in my heart the dream will be realized. I choose to believe. And choosing is a powerful thing. It's available to you at every moment. You can choose understanding over anger, believing over nonbelieving, action over inaction. It gives meaning to every choice we make."

"What we need to do is learn to respect and embrace our differences until our differences don’t make a difference in how we are treated."

It doesn't take much to serve,but grace and love!"

"Lift up our eyes...Lift up our heart...Do not be wedded to fear..."

"America is not a melting pot, because customs and traditions simply do not melt ... but it can instead be looked upon as a mosaic."
