MLK Day

Since it's Martin Luther King Day I took some time to read some of his quotes. My favorites a listed below:

"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"

"Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men."

"The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: "If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?" But... the good Samaritan reversed the question: "If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?""

"The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict."

"The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be... The nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists."

"The time is always right to do what is right."

"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."

"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."

"To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing."
