You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the

ocean does not become dirty.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged

by the color oftheir skin but by the content of their character.

"I leave you, hoping that the lamp of liberty will burn in your bosoms until there shall no longer be a

doubt that all men are created free and equal."

That was leadership that was the quality leaders possessed those words were hope, today it is only

power, only fools hope, only some artificial currency doing the rounds.

This is a tribute to the greatest leaders of all times

4. Margaret Higgins Sanger (September 14, 1879 September 6, 1966)

Against the State, against the Church, against the silence of the medical profession, against

the whole machinery of dead institutions of the past, the woman of today arises.

Woman must not accept; she mustchallenge. She must not be awed by that which has been

built up around her; she must reverence that woman in her which struggles for expression.

When motherhood becomes the fruit of a deep yearning, not the result of ignorance or

accident, its children will become the foundation of a new race.

War, famine, poverty and oppression of the workers will continue while woman makes life

cheap. They will cease only when she limits her reproductivity and human life is no longer a

thing to be wasted.

struggle for woman independence and rights was the first in modern history. She destined the

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.

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is

why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.

"The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible."

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not

he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.

I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or

a white man.

Human life is a life to cherish,

It is gifted to know the unknown,

To spread the wings of freedom,

To believe in dreams,

And to live those dreams,

It is worth knowing the unknown,

Human life is love and beauty,

It is imagination, creation &

distribution,

It is a zest to know more
