"Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And
he's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over, and
I've seen the promised land . . . So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried
about anything. I'm not fearing any man."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr. - "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech, April 3, 1968 (the day before his assassination)
can you imagine being that faithful? whoa. now that takes some guts. i would like to just have an ounce of his courage and bravery.
happy birthday martin luther king, jr.!
