Context: He [God] lends us a little of His reasoning powers and that is how we think: He puts a little of His love into us and that is how we love one another. When you teach a child writing, you hold its hand while it forms the letters: that is, it forms the letters because you are forming them. We love and reason because God loves and reasons and holds our hand while we do it.

A Declaration of Independence (12 March 1964) http://teachingamericanhistory.org/library/index.asp?document=1148 <br class="br">Variant: We cannot think of uniting with others, until after we have first united among ourselves. We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves. <br class="br">Context: There can be no black-white unity until there is first some black unity. There can be no workers&#x27; solidarity until there is first some racial solidarity. We cannot think of uniting with others, until after we have first united among ourselves. We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves. One can&#x27;t unite bananas with scattered leaves.
