King
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.”
“We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.”
“Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.”
Obama
“Hope in the face of difficulty, hope in the face of uncertainty, the audacity of hope: In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation, a belief in things not seen, a belief that there are better days ahead.”

“Imagine Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address without reference to "the judgments of the Lord." Or King's I Have a Dream speech without references to "all of God's children." Their summoning of a higher truth helped inspire what had seemed impossible, and move the nation to embrace a common destiny.”
