Friends, let's not fall into despair. I tell you today that at this moment, despite all kinds of difficulties and setbacks, I still have a dream, which is deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day, this country will stand up and truly realize the true meaning of its founding creed: "We hold that truth speaks for itself and that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hill in Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners can sit down together and talk about brotherhood. I have a dream that one day, even Mississippi, where justice is hidden and oppression is rampant, will become an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that one day my four children will live in a country where they will be judged not by the color of their skin but by their character.
The biggest sorrow in the social transformation period is not that the bad guys are too rampant, but that the good guys are too silent.
The biggest sorrow in the world transition period is not the noise of bad people, but the silence of good people.
In this world, no one can make you fall, if your own beliefs are still there.
In the end, what we remember is not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
