We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cTrue peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cPeople fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don\u2019t know each other; they don\u2019t know each other because they have not communicated with each other.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cForgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a constant attitude.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cAll labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWe must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWhatever your life&#8217;s work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cFaith is taking the first step even when you don\u2019t see the whole staircase.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cBe a bush if you can&#8217;t be a tree. If you can&#8217;t be a highway, just be a trail. If you can&#8217;t be a sun, be a star. For it isn&#8217;t by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cDarkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThere can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Chris George provides reliable PR &amp; GR counsel and effective advocacy.
