A Tribute to Doctor King



Since it is the birthday of one of our most prominent Americans, I would love to share a few of the memorable words spoken by Martin Luther King. I need to thank my friend, Katie Hann, for the inspiration, as she is the Queen of Great Quotations and I believe the MLK's are some of the most inspirational that I have ever heard. I hope that you like them too!
(We all need to be a little inspired now and then!)

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

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

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."

"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."

Although he died so many years ago, his words ring true in our time.....as we read the headlines let us be reminded.......
