I love Googles personlization of their Logo … did you see yesterdays?
In celebration of not Martin Luther King and his life (not just the day yesterday) I began looking at few quotes attributed to him. They are wonderful and my attempt to edit them done to under a hundred left me felling like I was hiding something or trying not to share. So each day this week - I will send out several - surely there will be one just for you!
A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man who won’t die for something is not fit to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan. Martin Luther King, Jr.
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom. Martin Luther King, Jr.
A right delayed is a right denied. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.

All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.

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. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.  ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.Â
Thank you Dr. King!Â
