"I refuse to accept the idea that the 'isness' of man's present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the 'oughtness' that forever confronts him."
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dec. 10, 1964 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech.
Dr. King -- reverend, and a Ph.D. -- spoke those words when he was 35 years old. By the time he was 39, he was dead. How he chose to spend his time in this world remains a shining ray of inspiration, courage, enthusiasm and grit.On this day that we celebrate Dr. King's life and work, we hope you will click here to read the entire text of his remarkable acceptance speech -- for what it says about work, love, and hope. And click here to view an excellent tribute site developed by the Seattle Times, from where we pulled this photo.
Go out and make it a good day. For all the children of the world, including your own inner one.
