(NAME-MCE) Dr. King's quotes

[Tamara G Suttle]

Bill, I loved the idea of sharing Dr. King's quotes and wanted to add mine
to the list.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that
matter."  - Dr. Martin Luther King -

I love quotes and thought that it might be interesting for subscribers of
the NAME ListServ to share their favorite quotes from Dr. Martin Luther
King
in honor of his birthday. Here are just some of them. As I started to list
them, I was struck about how many I liked had to do with speaking up. I
would be very interested in hearing what quotes others enjoy from Dr.
King.



My favorite Martin Luther King quotes:



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



      "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."



The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people
but
the silence over that by the good people."



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



"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, 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 to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job
well."



      "It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can
keep him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important."



    "We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the
vitriolic
words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the
good people."
