Whatever the Americans are proud of - whatever they consider to be particularly good, useful, brilliant, or characteristic of themselves or their climate, they designate, half in jest, though scarcely half in earnest, as an "institution." Thus the memory of George Washington... is an institution; the Falls of Niagara are an institution; the Plymouth Rock, on which the Pilgrim Fathers first set foot, is an institution...; "Sweet potatoes" are an institution, and Pumpkin (or Punkin) pie is an institution; ...squash is an institution; Bunker Hill is an institution; and the firemen of New York are a great institution.

mlk day quotes by MARTIN LUTHER KING-1444892191

mlk day quotes by MARTIN LUTHER KING-1444844972
Will we march only to the music of time, or will we, risking criticism and abuse, march to the soul-saving music of eternity?
mlk day quotes by MARTIN LUTHER KING-1444843371
The oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever-rising tides of hate. History is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued that self-defeating path of hate. Love is the key to the solution of the problems of the world.
mlk day quotes by MARTIN LUTHER KING-1444842092

dad day quotes by TOM WOLFE-1444747576
Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later... that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life.
dad day quotes by ELLA WHEELER WILCOX-1444723393

dad day quotes by JOHN GREGORY BROWN-1444670766

dad day quotes by CLARENCE BUDINGTON KELLAND-1444628993
Henry James once defined life as that predicament which precedes death, and certainly nobody owes you a debt of honor or gratitude for getting him into that predicament. But a child does owe his father a debt, if Dad, having gotten him into this peck of trouble, takes off his coat and buckles down to the job of showing his son how best to crash through it.
