some selected quotes from Martin Luther King Jr.

"All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality."

"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

"It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important."

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

"I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live."

"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

My own commentary: I think if one person, one person in ten thousand, read these words, took them into themselves and made them part of their day to day life, we would transform this world in ways beyond imagining.

Jesus said faith the size of a mustard seed was all that was required to throw a mountain into the sea.

Saint Paul said: Three things remain - Faith, hope and love.

Imagine what hope the size of a mustard seed could accomplish.

Imagine what love the size of a mustard seed is capable of.

John Lennon said: Imagine.
