Day 16 - His day

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. As I was searching for words of hope, I was taken back by all of the quotes I found full of love, beauty, and intense meaning. Words that still ring true today. He left behind so much wisdom. These are his words about hope; they are moving and inspiring.


“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” 


“If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps 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.” 


“Only in the darkness can you see the stars.” 


“This faith transforms the whirlwind of despair into a warm and reviving breeze of hope. The words of a motto which a generation ago were commonly found on the wall in the homes of devout persons need to be etched on our hearts: Fear knocked at the door. Faith answered. There was no one there.” 


“everything that is done in the world is done by hope”
