The day I die is the day I give up |

and not until that day.
Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

1. I seem to recall MLK said that shortly before he was assassinated. |

Another powerful quote I first heard at a recent celebration of life for a Buddhist friend:
"Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't."
Peace and courage to us all!

A lot of us are with you. Murderers won't run this land unchallenged . . . not while we're standing.

5. It's been long and rocky the past five years |

We've taken some hellacious lumps along the way, and, now when we're finally getting in some return licks, I'm not going to lose heart and slink away. Not on your life, they'll even put a kicking donkey on my headstone.
