20 Martin Luther King Quotes for Entrepreneurs and Leaders

Each year since 1992 on the third Monday of January the United States celebrate Martin Luther King Day, commemorating the life and work of the nation’s legend and inspiration.

In honor of this great man of faith and vision, I’d like to devote my today’s blog post to his quotes that encourage me personally as an entrepreneur and leader. Here they are (in no particular order for who am I to rank them?)

  1. Whatever your life’s work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.”
  2. “Faith is taking the first step … even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
  3. “Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal …requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.”
  4. “Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.”
  5. “The time is always right to do what is right”
  6. “Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”
  7. “I submit to you that if a man hasn’t discovered something he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.”
  8. “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
  9. “Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness.”
  10. “Our lives begin to end the day we decide to become silent about things that matter.”
  11. “The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.”
  12. “If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values — that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control.”
  13. “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
  14. “We must use time creatively.”
  15. “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character — that is the goal of true education.”
  16. “The quality, not the longevity, of one’s life is what is important.”
  17. “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
  18. “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
  19. “Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.”
  20. “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”

Good Stuff!!

Obama, Castro and the Enemy of the United States

Obama-smoke
It's disturbing, but please take time to give it a read. Did not write it... but I believe it to be true as history validates.

I remember asking dad about Castro when I was about 9 years old. I asked, "Is Castro a good guy or bad?"

Dad said he couldn't tell!! This was about 1955. We were living in Louisiana at the time. Dad was in the army there.

Cuba was fairly close and in the news a lot. The Cubans were asking the same question! Ike was president.

This past July, we had the pleasure of sharing a summer barbecue with a refugee from Cuba . Our dinner conversation was starkly different than most.

This refugee came to the United States as a young boy in the early 1960s. His family was more fortunate than most as they were able to bring a suitcase and $100 when they fled Castro's newly formed revolutionary paradise.

Our dinner consisted of all-American fare: hamburgers, potato salad, watermelon and fresh ears of sweet corn. This is a menu shared with family and friends nationwide, while celebrating the birth of our beloved America on the Fourth of July.

We began with a simple discussion about our country and the direction it has taken since Barack Obama came to power. We shared the usual complaints about the sour economy and liberal social engineering emanating from the rulers in Washington..

But then he said it. The sentence came naturally. I assume it was unplanned. But it carried the weight of a freight train. "You know when Castro took power, none of us knew he was a Communist."* We sat stunned. He continued, "Yes, we all thought he was a patriot, a nationalist.

Before the revolution he didn't sound like a radical."

The comparison at this point was easy, and I interjected, *"You mean just like Barack Obama?"*

He responded; *"Yes, just like Barack Obama."*

He continued, *"We were all shocked as the government just continued to grab more power. First they said the revolution is over, so please turn in your guns. We all complied."*

"I remember my uncle saying after it started; 'Castro will only nationalize some of the big industries, he will never come and take our family hardware store.' But that is exactly what happened; Castro started with the sugar mills and the large industries, but they eventually came and knocked on the door of our family hardware store. My family had run this store for generations.

They said we now own the hardware store, you work for us. And that nice, large four-bedroom home you own, it is now our property also, and you can move yourself and five children into two rooms of the house because others are moving in with you." The lesson learned from this discussion is a lesson most Americans refuse to hear.. Political leaders can lie about their agenda and once in office they can take totally unexpected turns.

If you had asked us three years ago if we thought General Motors would be nationalized, we would have never believed it. We could never contemplate a country where the rule of law, the most fundamental building block of a justice society would be evaporating just like it did in Castro's Cuba in the early 1960s.

But the news of injustice keeps increasing. Black Panthers are not charged with wrongdoing by the U.S. Department of Justice because their crimes are against whites. The bondholders of GM are stripped of their assets without due process by the government.

Governmental leaders are bribed in full daylight only to have all criminal investigations blocked by the Attorney General. The U.S. borders are overrun with crime and illegal activity and the leaders in D.C. move to protect the law breakers, while the innocent are killed and overrun.

When local communities attempt to enforce the law, they are ridiculed and threatened as extremists, racists and bigots. Then, they are sued by the very administration entrusted with enforcing the law.

Without the rule of law the U.S. Constitution is a sham.

Without the rule of law our beloved America is swiftly becoming a country where only the well connected and politically powerful will be safe.

As Michelle Malkin has so eloquently explained in her recent book, a culture of corruption has replaced honest government.

The only way this problem will be fixed is by massive citizen action. All honest citizens that want to be treated equally must come together and demand that the favoritism, the bribes, the uneven enforcement of law end now. And yes, it can happen here.


And may God save the United States of America!

Personally, I believe it is happening here, and if you think so too the least you can do is forward this email. 6 million plus Jews didn't believe it would happen in Germany either.

If you're a Christian in these United States of America you're next on the list. The real problem here is the boy from Cuba did manage to make it to the U.S. We will not have any place to escape to except death, and for the most part even though I'm forwarding this to recipients probably only 5 or 10 will even read it.
