Each of us must decide whether it is more important to be proved right or to provoke righteousness.
—Bernice King

Sunday Inspiration: Be Soft

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.
—Iain Thomas

—James Baldwin

Sunday Inspiration: Thinking

Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge.
—Carl Jung

Sunday Inspiration: Freedom

May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.

Sunday Inspiration: True Peace

Peace is not the absence of war but the absence of fear.
—Ursula Franklin

Sunday Inspiration: Commitment

Commitment is doing what you said you would do, after the feeling you said it in has passed.

Sunday Inspiration: Unforgettable

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
—Maya Angelou

Sunday Inspiration: I Don’t Want Peace

If peace means keeping my mouth shut in the midst of injustice and evil, I don’t want it. If peace means a willingness to be exploited economically, dominated politically, humiliated and segregated, I don’t want peace.
—Martin Luther King Jr.

Sunday Inspiration: The Wrong Thing

Few people revel in doing the wrong thing. Most of us just convince ourselves it’s not all that wrong.
