January 20, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, January 20.
On this Inauguration Day, I celebrate eloquence and the power of words. President Thomas Jefferson was eloquent, as was Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. The power of their words continues to stir our hearts and inspire our minds. And on this MLK Day, I share these thoughts, from a man who never held public office, but who most certainly had a way with words.
*Faith is taking the first step, even when you can’t see the whole staircase.
*That old law about an eye for an eye, leaves everyone blind.
*We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.
*The time is always right to do what is right.
*Returning violence for violence only multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
*The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.
*Out of the mountain of despair - a stone of hope.
*Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.
*I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
Meet you back here tomorrow,
David
