In order to change the world, you have to get your head together first.

The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity... The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.

William Dunbar

The dream was not to put one black family in the White House, the dream was to make everything equal in everybody's house.

Al Sharpton

Life and all that is in itis a gift from the infinite mind;And the only way that life can go wrongis by the limited finite mind.
