It is true that few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small
portion of events...It is from those numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is
shaped. Each time men and women stand up for an idea, or act to improve the lot of others, or strike out
against injustice, they send a tiny ripple of hope - and crossing each other from a million different centers
of energy and daring these ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression
and resistance.
-Robert Kennedy, 1966

Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men
willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of
social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.
Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy.
-Martin Luther King, Jr., 1963
