From childhood's hour I have not been As others were---I have not seen As others saw---I could not bring My passions from a common spring. From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov'd, I loved alone. Then---in my childhood---in the dawn Of a most stormy life---was drawn From ev'ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain, From the sun that 'round me roll'd In its autumn tint of gold--- From the lightning in the sky As it pass'd me flying by--- From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view.

It is not in the volume of his voice, but in the weight of the words he speaks. It is not in the women which pursue him, nor the women he pursues, but in the woman he wins. It is not in the manner he fights, but the enemies he defeats. It is not in the glory of the battle, but for whom it is fought. It is not in the pride of victory, but humility in defeat. It is not only standing on the peaks of accomplishment, but remaining standing in the valleys of failure. It is not in how much he knows, but how much he learns. It is not in the ones he leads, but the One he follows. The measure of a man cannot be measured by other men. It is not determined by women, by peers, by lesser men, nor by greater men. "As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, So the heart of kings is unsearchable."Dreams: "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.' I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood..." (Martin Luther King Jr)
