There is little hope for us until we become tough minded enough to break loose from the shackles of prejudice, half-truths, and downright ignorance. A nation that continues to produce soft minded men purchases its own spiritual death on an installment plan.”

Time is the most precious gift in our possession, for it is the most irrevocable…Time lost is time when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experience, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison
A better interpretation of #JustSayNo
"Your Yes to God demands your No to all injustice, to all evil, to all lies, to all oppression and violation of the weak and the poor, to all godlessness and mocking of the holy. "
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
