Concern for Oneself
... if it falls to your lot to be a street-sweeper, sweep streets like Raphael painted pictures, sweep streets like Michelangelo carved marble, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say, "Here lived a great street-sweep who swept his job well.
Concern for Humanity
... the destiny of America is tied up with the destiny of India. So long as India or any other nation is insecure, America can never be totally secure.
... all life is interrelated. So no nation or individual is independent. We are interdependent. We are involved in a single process. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.
Concern for the Spiritual
You look up at the beautiful stars as they bedeck the heavens like swinging lanterns of eternity, and maybe you think you see all. Oh no. You can never see the law of gravitation that holds them there. You look at beautiful buildings and beautiful architectural structures standing in impressive proportions, and you think you see all. Oh no. You can never see the mind of the architect who drew the blueprint. You can never see the love and the faith and the hope of the individuals who made it so.
Dr. Martin Luther King.
