The time is always right to do what is right Darkness cannot drive out darkness only light can do that, hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that. Our lives begin to end the day when we become silent about things that matter. If you can't fly then run If you can't run then walk If you can't walk then crawl but whatever you do you have to keep going. I have a dream. Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole ladder. We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope. Injustice anywhere is the threat to everywhere, We are caught in an inescapable network mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny, whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.
