In honor of tomorrow’s Women’s March and Martin Luther King Day Monday

• There exists in the minds of men a tone of feeling toward women as toward slaves.
• If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.
• We would have every arbitrary barrier thrown down. We would have every path laid open to woman as freely as to man.
• Let every woman, who has once begun to think, examine herself

And these words from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968):

• In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
• Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?
• The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
• Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.
• Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

We are grateful for their wisdom.
