Like Men, Nations Are Purified And Strengthened

The Career Of A Great Man Remains An Enduring Monument Of Human Energy. The Man Dies And Disappears, But His Thoughts And Acts Survive And Leave An Indelible Stamp Upon His Race.

It's Not Enough To Have A Dream, Unless You're Willing To Pursue It. It's Not Enough To Know What's Right, Unless You're Strong Enough To Do It.

It's Not Enough To Reach For Love, Unless You Care Enough To Give It Men Who Are Resolved To Find A Way For Themselves Will Always Find Opportunities Enough; And If They Do Not Find Them, They Will Make Them.
