Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day. We all have our perception of who Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was and today we pay respect to his memory. In my eyes, beyond being a civil rights leader he was someone who was on a mission to make a positive difference. He was truly inspirational and that is why I want to share some of my favorite Martin Luther King Jr. quotes with you today.

"The time is always right to do what is right."

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase."

"Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a constant attitude."

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'

"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."
