Quote by John A. Sanford

“The “complete human being”—that is, the Son of Man—is at the heart of this new person born into the kingdom of God. Because personality is the ultimately valuable thing in creation, since it is life’s most unique expression, and because the kingdom is the goal of personality, the kingdom is futuristic and goal-centered.”

“My theory is that we all have minority impules which are stifled by the normal personality and rarely break free into action. The minority impulses are the Negroes of the personality. They have not enjoyed freedom since the personality was founded; they have become the invisible men. We refuse to recognize that a minority impulse is a potential full man, and that until he is granted the same opportunity for development as the major conventional selves, the personality in which he lives will be divided, subject to tensions which lead to periodic explosions and riots”

America has become one huge circle in which everyone is pointing the finger of blame at someone else.”
