Pals,

P.S. Monday of this week is a holiday in honor of a man who never became President, never held a political office, never was rich -- but changed America forever. This holiday Wiggins Weekly issue celebrates the life and work of Martin Luther King, Jr. On this page are some quotes from him that reveal a little about why he was so important.

Pony Pal Thoughts for the Day ~ from Martin Luther King, Jr. 1929-1968

It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important.

_____________

Life's most urgent question is: what are you doing for others? The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and sisterhood.

_____________

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.

_______________

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. The ultimate measure of a woman is not where she stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where she stands at times of challenge and controversy.
