\"martin<\/a><\/p>\n

1. \u201cFaith is taking the first step even when you don\u2019t see the whole staircase.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. \u201cNever be afraid to do what\u2019s right.\u00a0 Society\u2019s punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. \u201cLife\u2019s most persistent and urgent question is, \u2018What are you doing for others?\u201d<\/p>\n

4.\u201d Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking.\u00a0 There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions.\u00a0 Nothing pains some people more than having to think.\u201d<\/p>\n

5.\u201d Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

6. \u201cDarkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.\u00a0 Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

7. \u201cEverything that is done in the world is done by hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

8. \u201cIn the end, will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

9. \u201cPower at its best is love implementing the demands of justice.\u00a0 Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.\u201d<\/p>\n

10. \u201cThe time is always right to do what is right.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
