As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.

~Abraham Lincoln~

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

~Martin Luther King Jnr~

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

~John F. Kennedy~

I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil.

~Robert F. Kennedy~

I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can... But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.

~John Lennon~

OTIS REDDING

LYRICS:

I was born by a river in this little old tent

Oh just like this river I've been running ever since

It's been a long, long time coming

But I know, but I know a change is gotta come

Oh yes it is

On my!

It's been too hard living, oh my

And I'm afraid to die

I don't know what's up there

Beyond the clouds

It's been a long long time coming

But I know, but I know a change is gotta come

Oh yes it is

On my!

There was a time I would go to my brother

I asked my brother, "Will you help me please?"

He turned me down and then I ask my dear mother, oh

I said "Mother!"

I said "Mother! I'm down on my knees"

It's been a time that I thought

Lord this couldn't last for very long

But somehow I thought I was still able to try to carry on

It's been a long, long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come

Oh, yes it is

Just like I said, I went to my little bitty brother, my littele brother

I asked my brother "Brother help me please?"

He turned me down and then I go to my little mother, my dear mother

I said "Mother!"

I said "Mother! I'm down on my knees"

But there was a time that I thought

Lord this couldn't last for very long

But somehow I thought I was still able to try to carry on

It's been a long, long time coming

But I know, but I know a change is gotta come

Oh yes it will

So tired of standing by myself

You know that I know that a change is gotta come
