I Have A Dream

On Monday, we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. No matter your race or nationality, it's hard to deny that he was an impressive man. Here are some of my favorite quotes of his...

• "Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."
• "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
• "Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see."
• "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."
• "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

Dream big, Buzz readers, and have a wonderful week!!

Blessings,
The Buzz
