“To accept passively an unjust system is to cooperate with that system; thereby the oppressed become as evil as the oppressor. Non-cooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good.”
Martin Luther King, Jr., “Three Ways of Meeting Oppression”
in Stride Toward Freedom, 1958
“Two loves, then, have made two cities. Love of self, even to the point of contempt for God, made the earthly city, and love of God, even to the point of contempt for self, made the heavenly city. Thus the former glories in itself, and the latter glories in the Lord. The former seeks its glory from men, but the latter finds its highest glory in God, the witness of our conscience. The former lifts up its head in its own glory; the latter says to its God, My glory, and the one who lifts up my head (Ps. 3:3).”
Augustine of Hippo
"Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free."
Red, Shawshank Redemption.
"Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired
and discouraged men who kept on working."
Oscar Wilde.
