I just heard these quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and I wanted to help myself remember them and so, you get to read them too. Enjoy.
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
“Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus, but a molder of consensus.”
I know that Dr. King gave the same speech more than once and I read the following quote and was not sure if it was at a different time or had been changed. Either way, I like it as well.
“A man of conscience can never be a consensus leader. He doesn’t take a stand for consensus. He is ultimately a molder of consensus. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in moments of great challenge and controversy.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
