Achievements, B.C. Forbes

It is well for civilization that human beings constantly strive to gain greater and greater rewards, for it is this urge, this ambition, this aspiration that moves men and women to bestir themselves to rise to higher and higher achievement. Individual success is to be won in most instances by studying and diagnosing the kind of rewards human hearts seek today and are likely to seek tomorrow.

Virtue, John Adams

Omnium rerum domina, virtus. Virtue is the mistress of all things. Virtue is the master of all things. Therefore a nation that should never do wrong must necessarily govern the world. The might of virtue, the power of virtue, is not a very common topic, not so common as it should be.

- John Adams, Journal entry (6 August 1796).

Hope, Martin Luther King Jr.

Now, I say to you today my friends, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. 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.'

- Martin Luther King Jr.

오늘 형제 여러분에게 말씀드립니다, 지금도 그렇고 앞으로도 우리는 많은 어려움을 겪어야겠지만 나에게는 여전히 꿈이 있습니다. 그것은 아메리칸 드림에 깊이 뿌리내리고 있는 꿈입니다. 나에게는 꿈이 있습니다, 언젠가 이 나라가 우뚝 일어서, "모든 사람은 평등하게 창조되었고, 우리가 바로 그 증거이다"라는 건국의 원칙의 참뜻에 맞게 살아갈 것이라는 꿈입니다.

- 마틴 루터 킹
