Martin Luther King Jr. on Sustainability and Action
To celebrate the holiday, I've chosen three unrelated quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to share with Green Buckeye readers. To some extent they reflect aspects of the philosophy associated with my efforts on this blog.The first quote reflects on the problem of imbalance and unsustainable behavior:
"The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men."The second quote provides inspiration for continuing to move forward, even when feeling tired and outnumbered.
"Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better."And the third quote reminds us that fear is not enough to sustain change - we must also have hope in the face of adversity.
"Everything that is done in the world is done by hope."
