From Psalm 130:5-6:  I wait for the Lord; my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning.”

Howard Thurman (1899-1981) was a American author, theologian, and civil rights leader.  His writings mentored many leaders in the civil rights movement, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
