if you're willing to put your shoulders to the wheel of history; if you're willing to march with me and get people registered to vote and stand with me in November, then forty years from now, our children will be able to look back and say that, like those who came before us, we did not shrink from the challenges we faced. Like those who came before us, we held fast to our ideals of equality, justice, and opportunity for all. Like those who came before us, we remembered the words of the scriptures, and cast off everything that hindered our way, and ran with perseverance the race that was set before us.
"Being a cynic is so contemptibly easy. ...you don't have to invest anything in your work. No effort, no pride, no compassion, no sense of excellence, nothing."
