So however difficult it is during this period, however difficult it is to continue to live with the agony and the continued existence of racism, however difficult it is to live amidst the constant hurt, the constant insult and the constant disrespect, I can still sing we shall overcome. We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice.We shall overcome because Carlisle is right. 'No lie can live forever.' We shall overcome because William Cullen Bryant is right. 'Truth crushed to earth will rise again.' We shall overcome because James Russell Lowell is right. 'Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne.'   Yet that scaffold sways the future. We shall overcome because the Bible is right.  'You shall reap what you sow.' With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to speed up the day when all of God's children all over this nation - black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old negro spiritual, 'Free at Last, Free at Last, Thank God Almighty, We are Free At Last.","author":"Martin Luther King Jr.","tags":["america","civil-rights","freedom","hope","justice","love","race-relations","racism","united-states","united-states-of-america","us","usa"],"id":13473,"author_id":"Martin+Luther+King+Jr."},{"text":"There is clearly a feeling abroad that God smiled on our beginnings, and that we should return to them as we can. If we really did attempt to return to them, we would find Moses as well as Christ, Calvin, and his legions of intellectual heirs. And we would find a recurrent, passionate, insistence on bounty or liberality, mercy and liberality, on being kind and liberal, liberal and bountiful, and enjoying the great blessings God has promised to liberality to the poor.","author":"Marilynne Robinson","tags":["america","calvinism","charity","grace","liberal","liberality","poor","usa"],"id":15037,"author_id":"Marilynne+Robinson"},{"text":"When Putin or any wealthy corrupted dictator can decide who is the US President, while Obama or the regular democratic authorities don't have the same power to decide who is the Russian or Chinese president, then the problem is not about Donald Trump, not about The Person,rather it is structural gap related to the Democracy and Dictatorship in deep substance and concept, and should be discussed, reflected, thought, spoke and solved from this very respect, not from drawing daily cartoons for Trump's hairstyle!","author":"Waseem Kanjo","tags":["democracy","dictatorship","putin","russia","trump","usa"],"id":17663,"author_id":"Waseem+Kanjo"},{"text":"What this country needs... What this great land of ours needs is something to happen to it. Something ferocious and tragic, like what happened to Jericho or the cities of the plain - something terrible I mean, son, so that when the people have been through hellfire and the crucible, and have suffered agony enough and grief, they’ll be people again, human beings, not a bunch of smug contented cows rooting at the trough.","author":"William Styron","tags":["destruction","grief","usa"],"id":23205,"author_id":"William+Styron"},{"text":"Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love but to use violence to get what they want.","author":"Mother Teresa","tags":["abortion","love","selfishness","usa","violence"],"id":30713,"author_id":"Mother+Teresa"},{"text":"The 2016 USA presidential election race clarified how an evil Nazi dictator like Adolf Hitler was able to come to power in global politics.","author":"Steven Magee","tags":["2016","able","adolf","clarified","come","dictator","election","election-2016","evil","global","hitler","nazi","political-philosophy","politics","politics-of-the-united-states","power","president-of-the-united-states","presidential","presidential-election","presidential-race","race","usa"],"id":35552,"author_id":"Steven+Magee"},{"text":"Make sure you control the radio on a long road trip.
