KISWAHILI
“..kila mtu anaweza kuwa muhimu sana...kwa sababu kila mtu anaweza kuwatumikia wengine.
Siyo lazima uwe na digrii ya chuo kikuu ili kutumikia.
Siyo lazima kufanya kiima chako na kitenzi chako kikubali kutumikia.
Siyo lazima kumjua kuhusu Plato na Aristoto kutumikia.
Siyo lazima ujue kuhusu Nadharia ya Uhusiano ya Einstein ili kutumikia.
Siyo lazima ujue Nadharia ya Pili ya Termodynamika katika fizikia ili kutumikia.
Unahitaji tu moyo uliojaa neema...na roho inayotokana na upendo.”
- Dk. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
“...everybody can be great...because everybody can serve.
You don't have to have a college degree to serve.
You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.
You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve.
You don't have to know about Einstein's Theory of Relativity to serve.
You don't have to know the Second Theory of Thermodynamics in physics to serve.
You only need a heart full of grace...and a soul generated by love.”
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)
