MLK Quote

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born 85 years ago last Wednesday. One of my favorite MLK quotes is:

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.

I think the quote may have been influenced by Ecclesiastes 9:10.
