Cowardice asks the question
- is it safe?
Expediency asks the question - is it politic?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
But conscience
asks the question - is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic,
nor popular; but one must take it BECAUSE it is right.
- Dr. Martin Luther King (submitted by nokia)
Life's most urgent question is: what are you doing for others?

Martin Luther King, Jr.
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 hosts of heaven and earth will pause and say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.
- Martin
Luther King, Jr.
We must constantly build dykes
of courage to hold back the flood of fear.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
