I am fueled by his words. It reminds me that no one is waiting for me to ASK them to fight this fight for me. I must do it myself. You must do it yourself. We are the right people to be doing this. (3/10)

"…each one of us in every generation must do our part. And if we believe in the change we seek, then it is easy to commit to doing all we can, because the responsibility is ours alone to build a better society and more peaceful world." (2/10)
