Yesterday we spend a few hours with number 2 son, he was excited to have today off from work. He said he was talking about the day off and a girl at work did not know why it was a holiday,he told her it's the Kings birthday, the girl then replied, oh it's Elvis birthday Monday, I did not know that was a holiday:)
Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech (Dec 1964)
I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land.
Most of these people will never make the headlines and their names will not appear in Who's Who. Yet when years have rolled past and when the blazing light of truth is focused on this marvelous age in which we live -- men and women will know and children will be taught that we have a finer land, a better people, a more noble civilization -- because these humble children of God were willing to suffer for righteousness' sake.
