YOU BELIEVE IN THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS:


Our Constitution, “ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."


Martin Luther King Jr. expressed that in his speech, “ 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.”


Chief Seattle, a Native American said this perfectly, “All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the webs, he does it to himself."

  1. No doubt someone has mentioned this, but the quote about life, liberty, etc. is from the Declaration of Independence and not the constitution. I suspect some very narrow minded person would jump all over you for this. A good quote fromt he Constitution would be the preamble.
