Quote by Martin Luther Jr. King (1929-1968) , Dr. Martin Luther King (1929-1968)

• Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

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

• If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.

• In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

• Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

• The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
