If You Make One Gift This Year,

When We Can Sit In The Face Of Insanity Or Dislikes And Be Free From The Need To Make It Different, Then We Are Free.

As I Walked Out The Door Toward The Gate That Would Lead To My Freedom, I Knew If I Didn't Leave My Bitterness And Hatred Behind, I'd Still Be In Prison.

Great Anger And Violence Can Never Build A Nation.

I Have Walked That Long Road To Freedom. I Have Tried Not To Falter; I Have Made Missteps Along The Way. But I Have Discovered The Secret That After Climbing A Great Hill, One Only Finds That There Are Many More Hills To Climb. I Have Taken A Moment Here To Rest, To Steal A View Of The Glorious Vista That Surrounds Me, To Look Back On The Distance I Have Come. But I Can Only Rest For A Moment, For With Freedom Come Responsibilities, And I Dare Not Linger, For My Long Walk Is Not Ended.

It Always Gives Me Great Pleasure To Be Surrounded By The Beautiful Children Of Our Land. Whenever I Am With The Energetic Young People ... I Feel Like A Recharged Battery, Confident That Our Country Can Look Forward To Great Things.
