What Happens To The Country,

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.

I Think There Is An Obligation On The Part Of All Of Us To Stay Informed And Aware.

Our Future May Lie Beyond Our Vision, But It Is Not Completely Beyond Our Control. It Is The Shaping Impulse Of America That Neither Fate Nor Nature Nor The Irresistible Tides Of History, But The Work Of Our Own Hands, Matched To Reason And Principle.

It Is From The Numberless Diverse Acts Of Courage And Belief That Human History Is Shaped. 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.

It Is From Numberless Diverse Acts Of Courage And Belief That Human History Is Shaped.
