Outstanding speech:
http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkatimetobreaksilence.htm
Another great speech:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter
tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger
houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less
judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much,
spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little,
watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love
too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not
life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We
conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the
air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more,
but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce
more c opies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion,
big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce,
fancier houses, b ut broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands,
overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom
window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either
to [absorb] this insight, or to just [ignore it].
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they
are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that
little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because
that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember to say "I love
you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes
from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there
again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind;
...and always remember...
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take
our breath away.
GEORGE CARLIN, Comedian
(shortly after his wife's death)
