Forty Years Ago Tonight
http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkivebeentothemountaintop.htm

Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!

And so I'm happy, tonight.
I'm not worried about anything.
I'm not fearing any man!
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!!

1. "If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live"
One of many MLK quotes
