"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag,

And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protestor to burn the flag."

- Father Dennis Edward O'Brian, USMC

"The ultimate weakness of violence

is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks

to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies

it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you

cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.

Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not

murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases

hate...Returning violence for violence multiples

violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already

devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness;

only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out

hate: Only love can do that."

 

-Martin Luther King, Jr

if you dare not, you wont.

lifes battles are not always won by those who are stronger and faster,

sometimes the one who wins is the person who thinks he or she can!!!

A few months ago I was told that the Johns Hopkins University had given me a degree. I naturally supposed this constituted me a Member of the Faculty, and so I started in to help as I could there. I told them I believed they were perfectly competent to run a college as far as the higher branches of education are concerned, but what they needed was a little help here and there from a practical commercial man. I said the public is sensitive to little things, and they wouldn't have full confidence in a college that didn't know how to spell the name 'John'.

"Sign language is useful to the deaf but vital to the Italians." -Paul Carvel

 

"I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days during their early adult life. Darkness would make them more appreciative of sight; silence would teach them the joys of sound" -Hellen Keller

He who lives by the sword will perish by the sword. And history is replete with the bleached bones of nations that failed to follow this command. We must follow nonviolence and love."

Not a quote, but it's hanging up in my office.

 

Thoughts of a deaf child

 

 

My family knew that I was deaf

When I was only three, and since then fifteen years ago

Have never signed to me.

 

I know when I'm around the house,

I try and use my voice,

It makes them feel more comfortable;

For me, I have no choice.

 

I try, communicate their way-

Uncomfortable for me.

My parents wouldn't learn sign

Ashamed or apathy?

 

I never cared about the sound of radios and bands;

What hurts me most is, I never heard

my parents' signing hands

That's depressing. Why the heck would you share that!
