Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

Malala Yousafzai
I’ve heard of Robert Kennedy’s quote, but Pablo’s idea about Spring was REAL interesting. You really CAN’T keep Spring from coming either way!

Great quotes!!! My all time favorite quote is by Robert Kennedy:
“Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.”
