About this Quote
This quote by Sally Stanford is a suggestion that we should not be defined by our errors or our past. It is simple to be overwhelmed by the occasions of the night, however we must not let them specify us. Instead, we should focus on today and strive to maximize our day. We need to not let our past mistakes or experiences dictate our future. We must learn from our mistakes and utilize them to progress individuals. We need to not be kept back by our past, but rather use it as a tool to assist us grow and progress. We must make every effort to take advantage of our day and not let our previous specify us.

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character"
