Quote of the Day

Next Monday is destined as "MLK Day", which is an American federal holiday marking the birthday of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is around King's birthday, January 15. Quotes this week will be from Dr. King.

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”
