On this, the day we celebrate the life and times of one of the world's greatest champions and leaders of the cause for human rights, equality and peace, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I wanted to share some of my favorite quotes, from this wonderful man.
It is my dream, that what Dr. King contributed will be amplified by not only myself but by all those around the world that belive in the principles that he promoted:
PEACE, LOVE, EQUALITY
All quotes are by Dr. King
"The time is always right to do what is right."
"A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus."
"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."
"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."
"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."
"It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it."
Not only did Dr. King set the example and provide the leadership to a generation of civil rights evangelists and promoters but directly led the way to the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States. That milestone in the history of the United States will be celebrated tomorrow with his inauguration.
Won't you all take time today to celebrate the legacy of Dr. King?
Thank you for reading my blog today and please feel free to comment and provide your own thoughts on Dr. King. I also welcome your suggestions as to future topics.
May you be blessed always and in all ways!
