Maybe I shall branch out and try carrots. :)Cynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469492464518899845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085926.post-30248160170379033142011-02-16T00:33:31.715-05:002011-02-16T00:33:31.715-05:00More quotes, a few of my faves by Dr. Martin Luthe...More quotes, a few of my faves by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.infoplease.com/spot/mlkspeeches.html" rel="nofollow">found here</a><br /><b>Letter from Birmingham Jail — April 16, 1963</b><br /><br />While jailed for leading anti-segregation protests in Birmingham, King wrote this letter arguing that individuals have the moral duty to disobey unjust laws.<br /><br /><i>We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly I have never yet engaged in a direct action movement that was "well timed," according to the timetable of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word "Wait!" It rings in the ear of every Negro with a piercing familiarity. This "wait" has almost always meant "never." We must come to see with the distinguished jurist of yesterday that "justice too long delayed is justice denied."</i><br /><br />and<br /><br /><i>I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character</i><br /><br /><br />and <br /><a href="http://quotations.about.com/od/stillmorefamouspeople/a/MartinLutherKi2.htm" rel="nofollow">here</a><br /><br /><i>The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and conveniences, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.</i><br /><br />and<br /><br /><i>We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.</i><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magna_Carta#Repeal_of_articles_of_the_Charter" rel="nofollow">And just for fun</a><br /><i>Magna Carta, Clause 29. (Forerunner to BoR Due Process clause) NO Freeman shall be taken or imprisoned, or be disseised of his Freehold, or Liberties, or free Customs, or be outlawed, or exiled, or any other wise destroyed; nor will We not pass upon him, nor condemn him, but by lawful judgment of his Peers, or by the Law of the land. We will sell to no man, we will not deny or defer to any man either Justice or Right.</i><br /><br />Which of course was updated in the Bill of Rights to reflect preeminence of Law of Land over judgment by peers (who can sometimes be unlawful in their characterizations).<br /><br />Oh and if, by material participation you mean being forced to rent out head space against one's will, well then, indeed. ~zmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085926.post-51307344962303827482011-02-15T23:45:41.704-05:002011-02-15T23:45:41.704-05:00I think you may have dropped a piece of sod not so...I think you may have dropped a piece of sod not so much on my head, as into my brain. Quoting Teilhard de Chardin, Robert Frost, T.S. Eliot, and Calvin and Hobbes in the same column? Now, that's just showing off. Delightfully so, but still ....<br />You are quite likely the coolest grandma in the world.
