As we close out black history month I thought I’d offer Howard Thurman some quotes to ponder for the rest of the year

During times of war, hatred becomes quite respectable, even though it has to masquerade often
under the guise of patriotism.

A dream is the bearer of a new possibility, the enlarged horizon, the great hope.

Follow the grain in your own wood.

At the core of life is a hard purposefulness, a determination to live.

To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it. 

Commitment means that it is possible for a man to yield the nerve center of his consent to a purpose or cause, a movement
or an ideal, which may be more important to him than whether he lives or dies.  

Fate is the raw materials of experience. They come uninvited and often unanticipated. Destiny is what a man does with these raw materials

Community cannot for long feed on itself; it can only flourish with the coming of others from beyond, their unknown and undiscovered brothers.

A man has to ask himself two questions–
First. Where am I going?
Second. Who will go with me?
If you ever get the questions in the wrong order you are in big trouble 

He who fears is literally delivered to destruction.

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
