Martin Luther King, Jr., at the New Covenant Baptist Church in Chicago on April 9, 1967. What I’m saying to you this morning, my friends, even if it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, go on out and sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures; sweep streets like Handel and Beethoven composed music; sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry; sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will have to pause and say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.’ If you can’t be a pine on the top of a hill Be a scrub in the valley—but be the best little scrub on the side of the hill, Be a bush if you can’t be a tree. If you can’t be a highway just be a trail If you can’t be the sun be a star; It isn’t by size that you win or fail— Be the best of whatever you are. And when you do this, when you do this, you’ve mastered the length of life.” _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31
