Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day - A Chance To Reflect

Hi ya Gorgeous,
Happy Monday to you. If you have been around MakeupUniversity for any amount of time, you know that I loves me a Monday! Today is extra special because it's a day of remembrance for Dr Martin Luther King Jr - a man who held firm to his beliefs and convictions in the face of tragedy and obstacles. Then, he overcame them.




Some of you may have the day off and some of you may be at work - no matter where you are, take a moment and do a search for the top quotes of Dr King.  In his short life -he accomplished a lot of good and left a legacy to be proud of.


Here are some of my favorites!

  1. "Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase." 
  2.  "There comes a time when silence is betrayal." 
  3. "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." 
  4. "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." 
  5. "Only in the darkness can you see the stars."
  6. "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward." 
  7. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: Only love can do that." 
  8. "Let no man pull you so low as to hate him." 
  9. "That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing."
  10. "There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right." 
  11. "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." 
  12. "Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men."
  13. "Intelligence plus character--that is the goal of true education." 
  14. "We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience."
And I few more for the road ...

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
 
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
 
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
