“It is from numberless, diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, that person sends forth a tiny ripple of hope and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripple build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
