  1. MOOD Oh, if you’re a bird, be an early bird

    And catch the worm for your breakfast plate. If you’re a bird, be an early bird— But if you’re a worm, sleep late. SHEL SILVERSTEIN
  2. I have a dream that one day on the red

    hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.
