It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. (Martin Luther King) You always make each day a special day. By just you're being you. There's only one person exactly like you in the whole world.

Kennedy) I’m going to ask you to get up out of your seat wherever you are and come down and stand before this platform. If you are with friends or relatives, they will wait. If you’ve come in a bus, they will wait. (Billy Graham)
