“Be a bush if you can’t be a tree. If you can’t be a highway, just be a trail. If you can’t be a sun, be a star. For it isn’t by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.”
—Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., from speech before a group of students at Barratt Junior High School in Philadelphia, October 26, 1967
