MARTIN LUTHER KING SAGE
WORDS ON AGING……
On Martin Luther King Day we remember a profound thinker. Although he only lived until 39, he had wise thoughts about living a long life for those us fortunate enough.
“Oh, the worst of all tragedies is not to die young, but to live until seventy-five and yet not ever truly to have lived.”
“It does not matter how long you live, but how well you do it.”
“The quality, not the longevity, of one’s life is what is important.”
“Use me, God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what I can do, and use it for a purpose greater than myself.”
“If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl. But by all means, keep moving.”
