Never Be Afraid…

girls_playground_sept2012“Never, never be afraid to do what’s right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society’s punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.”
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

There are so many powerful quotes and speeches from Dr. King, it was hard to choose a favorite one this year.  This one caught my eye in particular because he talks about the well-being of  animals as well.  Living peacefully and in harmony with everyone and every living thing is an important example for our children.  I find children have such an open heart towards all; we can learn a lot by watching how they interact with those who need help and by supporting their efforts to get involved.

 

Thank you Dr. King for all you did and for continuing to inspire all of us.
