MLK

Dr. Martin Luther King was once asked if he was in too much of a hurry, and whether he should just wait longer, as progress toward equality would take a while.

He responded:

“Such an attitude stems from a tragic misconception of time, from the strangely irrational notion that there is something in the very flow of time that will inevitably cure all ills. … Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation.”
