Fresh Wind

*

“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.”

“The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: "If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?" But... the good Samaritan reversed the question: "If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?"”

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

"To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing."
All quotes from Martin Luther King, Jr.
