Here Lived a Great Street Sweeper

I love this quote and found it appropriate since today is Martin Luther King Jr Day here in the States.

street-sweeper“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.’”

~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
