A little late for his 80th birthday but who needs birthdays to celebrate someone?
And he does it all with such laughter and playfulness and dedication.
He's my compass and my touchstone.
I respect his courage to speak out against injustice – and to take an unpopular stand.
He also said, “My father always used to say, 'Don't raise your voice. Improve your argument.' Good sense does not always lie with the loudest shouters, nor can we say that a large, unruly crowd is always the best arbiter of what is right.”
He has a beautiful way of putting it.. or well, his father did.
ReplyDeleteI think his words are very true - and even worth remembering the next time I'm about to raise my voice in an unruly classroom... ;)
