First of all, thank you for the quotations.  What a great way to celebrate
Dr. King's birthday.

Secondly, does anyone know when, where and in what context these quotations
were given?  For that matter, does anyone know of a good quotation search
engine or resource for this sort of information.  I love including these in
presentations and talks.

"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."


"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."
