Sojourners Verse & Voice
The lover of money will not be satisfied with money; nor the lover of wealth, with gain. This also is vanity. When goods increase, those who eat them increase; and what gain has their owner but to see them with his eyes?
- Ecclesiastes 5:10-11
When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism, are incapable of being conquered. A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies.
- Martin Luther King, Jrfrom "A Time to Break Silence", King's address given on this day, April 4th in 1967 at the Riverside Church in New York City.
