Dr. King: "Be the Best of Whatever You Are"
August 28, 2013

KING:  What I'm saying to you this morning, my friends: Even if it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, go 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 rill.  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 a sun, be a star.  It isn't by size that you win or you fail; be the best at whatever that you are!
