Racism has been for years a tremendous reason that divides. It's time for it to stop.
My friend is one... who take me for what I am.
Henry D. Thoreau


If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. But do not care to convince him. Men will believe what they see. Let them see.
Henry D. Thoreau


Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
Henry D, Thoreau


Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.
Saint Augustine


Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
Saint Augustine


Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.
Saint Augustine


If we did not have rational souls, we would not be able to believe.
Saint Augustine


Patience is the companion of wisdom.
Saint Augustine


The purpose of all wars, is peace.
Saint Augustine




Great Debater

It is not what you are
It’s what you think you are
It is not what they think of you
It’s what you think of yourself

It’s that you must be resolved
Ready to celebrate
Ready to invoke the word
A word that the Lord would praise forever

It is important to follow your instinct,
To follow a path of sincere devotion
To strangle the sad and relentless pursuit
That derives from the ignorant,
From the lost souls!

Men’s greatest weakness,
Is that they don't believe!
You must indeed know your auditorium,
And yes this is a matter of character,
This is a matter of fortitude,
As I said before, this is a fight
Between the weak against the strong.

Cause who is the judge? God!
And help from the Amazing Grace!
Unequivocally, when we have man
Lynching each other,
Means there's something wrong with society

So weather you invoke Gandhi,
And his peaceful movement ,
An example for the world to follow,
When its clear moral is on your side,
You must, by all means, Win!

When we have people risking and giving their lives,
For the sake of a noble cause,
For the sake of an idealist,
You practically have a debate!
A debate that is being heard around the world!
