The curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization, when men ate each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant animal life around them.
The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.
We shall have to do more than register and more than vote; we shall have to create leaders who embody virtues we can respect, who have moral and ethical principles we can applaud with enthusiasm. If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all.
And so today I still have a dream. I still have a dream today that one day war will come to an end, that men will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks, that nations will no longer rise up against nations, neither will they study war any more.
In support of the striking sanitation workers at Mason Temple in Memphis, Tenn. King was assassinated. I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over.
And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. Take bi Hoes of all complexions, I like cinnamon. Mase you got some hoes well ni The hoes come, the seasons change. The hoes go, we rearrange. Now tell them hoes that I'm busy, tell them hoes that I'm ballin. Hoes only come in between you and your man, because they don't have one!
Homewrecker quotes. Jealousy quotes. Envy quotes. Now the hoes say I'm conceited cuz they wanna give me brain and I say I don't need it. It's unbelievable. Make a mess. Clean it up. How many stars can you count in the sky? Even the word carries power, particularly if it comes from a friend, a family member or a child. While hate can be directed at almost anything — animals, foods, jobs, movies — the most destructive is hatred toward other people.
Today, I want you to ask yourself these questions: Does hate have a place in my life? Do I harbor any feelings of hatred toward myself or anyone else? If you do, I implore you to address this negative feeling before it becomes something much more dangerous. Hate, when left unchecked, will drain your spirit, tarnish your soul and darken your days. Both of these will eat you up inside, so if you find yourself living with hate, perhaps today is a good day for a little wellness housecleaning.
Hating Others Hate turned outward is both dangerous and ugly. It can motivate violent crime and damaging behaviors. The recent shooting at the L. Fitness gym in Pennsylvania is a painful reminder of this. At the heart of all hatred is blame, and this is particularly true for hatred turned outward. This quote from Siddhartha Buddha says it all: Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
I like this quote because the antidote for hatred is definitely within your grasp. The hand that slaps also has the potential to become the hand that comforts. It all depends how you choose to use that hand.
