🌹 MLK Day Quote

"You maybe 38 years old, as I happen to be. And, one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause. And, you refuse to do it because you want to live longer... or you're afraid that you will lose your job... or you will be criticized... or you will lose your popularity... or that someone will stab you, shoot at you, or bomb your house... so, you refuse to take the stand. Well, you may go on and live until you are 90 years old, but you're just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90. And, the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit."
