From Dr. King’s Last Sermon

“…We all want to be important, to surpass others, to achieve distinction, to lead the parade… It’s a good instinct if you don’t distort it and pervert it. Don’t give it up. Keep feeling the need for being important. Keep feeling the need for being first. But I want you to be first in love. I want you to be first in moral excellence. I want you to be first in generosity…If you want to be important—wonderful... But recognize that he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. That’s a new definition of greatness.”
