If he had lived he'd a been a blogger no doubt. A mind that supple is just bound to express itself in new and interesting ways. Others will laud Dr. King's considerable spiritual gifts today, let the Chimes at Midnight take a moment to celebrate Dr. King's protean intellect.
"If you have never found something so dear and so precious to you that you will die for it, then you aren't fit to live. You may be thirty-eight years old, as I happen to be, and one day some great principle, some great opportunity stands before you and calls upon you to stand up for some great issue, some great cause. And you refused to do it because you want to live longer. You're afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you're afraid that somebody will stab you or shoot at you or bomb your house.
So you refuse to take the stand. Well, you may go on and live until you are ninety, but you are just as dead at thirty-eight as you would be at ninety."
