    Martin Luther King Day

    A few good quotes from 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.”

    “There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.” ~ Martin Luther King

    I want to thank everyone with this website for helping me. There were some really bad posts where it sounded like I was on crack but I have been consciously using my presence here to find a new voice for writing which is not self-centered and appeals to a broad audience. Reprogramming yourself like that takes alot of effort.

    There are few figures in history who are full of as much wisdom as Martin Luther King was. It's a pity he never became president.

    Take care all.

    Great quotes, Orion.  Two very good choices from a man who understood how easy it is to fall down and how challenging (but rewarding) it is to rise above.  Thank you.
