"Little Gems" is the title I gave to a pocket journal. I jotted down quotes I liked from all kinds of sources.
----------------------------------------------
From Dr. King:
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
----------
Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
--------------------------------------------------
From Abe Lincoln:
Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

I don't think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.
---------
The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.

In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.
-----------------------------------
You cannot shake hands with a clinched fist.
--Golda Meir
-------------------------------------
If everyone is thinking alike then somebody isn't thinking.

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.
----------
The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.
----------
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
----------
Remember, remember always, that all of us... are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

We must build a new world, a far better world-- on in which the eternal dignity of man is respected.

--------------------------------------------
From Booker T. Washington:
Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.
-------

-------
