in what seems like just another ordinary day.

and suddenly everything around her seems so very precious.)

Well, I don't know what will happen now.
We've got some difficult days ahead.
But it doesn't matter with me now.
Because I've been to the mountaintop.
And I don't mind. Like any man,
I would like to live a long life.
Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now.
I just want to do God's will.
And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain.
And I've looked over.
And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.
But I want you to know tonight, that we,
as a people, will get to the promised land.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you can't

But soon or late the man who wins is the one who thinks he can.
