”If it falls your lot to be a street
sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep
streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne
Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like
Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts 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 at the
top of the hill, be a shrub in the valley. Be the best little shrub
on the side of the hill. 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. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of
whatever you are.”
Dr. Martin Luther King
"when the sun goes down and the lights burn out
then it's time for you to shine
brighter than a shooting star
so shine no matter where you are
fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'cause it's time for you to shine
brighter than a shooting star
so shine no matter where you are tonight"
