History despite its wrenching ordtak

 For without belittling the courage with which men have died, we should not forget those acts of courage with which men have lived. |
| My brother Joseph is ill. He has leukemia. They say I've shown courage on the football field, but for me it's only on the field, and only in the fall. Joey lives with pain all the time. His courage is 'round the clock. I want him to have this trophy. It's more his than mine, because he's been such an inspiration to me. |
| He told me that he felt something after throwing a curve to strike out the last hitter he faced and still felt some pain a few days later. We shut him down for a couple of weeks, hoping the rest would help. But the pain didn't go away. |
| As we consider this day, we remember an individual in history who fought the good fight. We reflect upon a nation that has struggled with its imperfections, and we focus upon a cause, and that cause is a cause of justice and racial equality that was not simply faced by Dr. King but has to be faced by every generation. |
| Courage is not limited to the battlefield or the Indianapolis 500 or bravely catching a thief in your house. The real tests of courage are much quieter. They are the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody's looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you're misunderstood. |
| Tragedy is the greatest art form of all. It gives us the courage to continue with our life by exposing us to the pain of life. It is unsentimental, it takes us seriously as human beings, it is not condescending. Paradoxically, by seeing pain we are made greater, it becomes a need. |

| In our history we have faced enemies before which have embraced some of these methods. Never, though, have we faced an enemy that embraced them all on such a scale. |

| To be one out away, one pitch away, from winning and then have to play another nine innings -- it's a tough way to lose. When you're put in this position, you're going to have one of two feelings in the end: gut-wrenching or ecstasy. There's only one way you can feel. We got the gut-wrenching. And it doesn't feel real good. |
| Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage. |
