“The starting point of every crisis is always ridden with confusion and cluelessness. If we knew how to solve a problem, we would solve it, right? It is Life’s nature to present us with a problem that we are confounded by, that which we can’t immediately fathom, understand or solve. We begin by first denying the problem exists. Then we try resisting, try pushing back. But the problem does not let go of its stranglehold. Intuitively our response to a crisis is swift, aggressive, decisive action. But often times, when you can’t solve a crisis that way, you must pause, reflect and take calculated decisions, calmly. That’s the whole reason why a crisis arrives in the first place – to teach us faith and patience.”

“The Negro had never really been patient in the pure sense of the word. The posture of silent waiting was forced upon him psychologically because he was shackled physically. In the days of slavery, this suppression was openly, scientifically and consistently applied. Sheer physical force kept the Negro captive at every point. He was prevented from learning to read and write, prevented by laws actually inscribed in the statute books. He was forbidden to associate with other Negroes living on the same plantation, except when weddings or funerals took place. Punishment for any form of resistance or complaint about his condition could range from mutilation to death. Families were torn apart, friends separated, cooperation to improve their condition carefully thwarted. Fathers and mothers were sold from their children and children were bargained away from their parents. Young girls were, in many cases, sold to become the breeders of fresh generations of slaves. The slaveholders of America had devised with almost scientific precision their systems for keeping the Negro defenseless, emotionally and physically. With the ending of physical slavery after the Civil War, new devices were found to "keep the Negro in his place." It would take volumes to describe these methods, extending from birth in jim-crow hospitals through burial in jim-crow sections of cemeteries. They are too well known to require a catalogue here. Yet one of the revelations during the past few years is the fact that the straitjackets of race prejudice and discrimination do not wear only southern labels. The subtle, psychological technique of the North has approached in its ugliness and victimization of the Negro the outright terror and open brutality of the South. The result has been a demeanor that passed for patience in the eyes of the white man, but covered a powerful impatience in the heart of the Negro.”

“الصبر هو أصعب شئ يتعلمه الإنسان في حياته. فهو أبلغ وأعظم أنواع الحكمة. يجب أن نشكر الله دائما على أننا من الصابرين. وأن نحافظ على هذه الصفة الحميدة خصوصا في أتعس وأسوء أوقاتنا. فستمر علينا أوقات سنتلقى فيها الهزائم وسنشعر بالإحباط الشديد. وإن كنا أبطالا حقا سنتخطى هذه الأوقات بمنتهى السهولة. فتخطي الأوقات العصيبة هو ما يظهر شخصية البطل وعقليته القوية وليس الاحتفاء بالانتصارات السعيدة.”

“Keep going. Be patient. No one achieves anything without dedication and determination. If you are thrown by every negative, disappointing thing that happens, you won’t get anywhere. The most successful people, in any field, have one-pointed focus. They do not get side-tracked and they do not give up.”
