I Have a Dream Speech by Martin Luther King, Jr.
August 28, 1963
I think this quote is one of the best. Actually it's very Catholic Christian in thought and idea and action:
ReplyDelete"All labor that uplifts humanity
has dignity and importance,
and should be undertaken with
painstaking excellence."
I also love this quote:
"A man who won't die for something is not fit to live."
The above quote is very Christian also. Jesus talks about the theme of death and resurrection all the time. "Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it has no life in it," would be just one verse that comes to mind.
But now I am thinking of another slant on the quote which is just a thought of mine. It is true that "a man who won't die for something is not fit to live." It's also true, however, that it may be harder to live for something you believe in, than to die for it. To really live well. If you are to live for a cause, and to live for the Lord, it is harder sometimes, than to die.
Jesus may ask you, "Yes, you said you would die for me, but will you live for me? What will you say? Are you living an inspiring life now, giving your all for Him and what He would have you do in your life?
Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now, I can give this speech in Val's blog, because she is my Sister, LOL, and she lets me! Love you, Sissy!
