MLK

I've been posting at FB all day And I forgot all about posting here! I'm a bad bloggy person!

OK, self flagellation over, here is a tribute to the memory of Martin Luther King, Jr. first a video of one of my favorite songs from back in the day and I loved the Three Dog Night! This is fun, and so perfect for today.





And a few quotes that I like best from the rich collection he left for us:

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.  Martin Luther King, Jr.

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence. Martin Luther King, Jr.

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.


At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?”Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.
