A Salute to Martin Luther King Jr.

How appropriate that the day after we celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr, Barak Obama will be sworn in as the President of the United States.

In honor of both occasions, enjoy these quotes by Martin Luther King Jr.:

————————————————

The ultimate measure of a man

is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience,

but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

————————————————

Faith is taking the first step up

even when you don’t see the staircase.

————————————————

All labor that uplifts has importance

and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.

————————————————

Life’s most persistent and urgent question is

“What are you doing for others”.

Wow – I am inspired to speak as if my words will be remembered for years after I die.
