i was not a swaggering, blowhard braggart. / i was calm, soft spoken, and i earned the respect of millions.
A Martin Luther King jr. post.
You have a dream that one day a meeting will finish on time, and that the man who says "just quickly" before every question will, just once, be quick. You have a dream of a motorway where people use their indicators, nobody sits on your bumper, and the man in the white van lets you out at the junction, and waves, and means it. You have a dream that one day your flatmates will judge whether the bin is full by how full it is, and not by whether one more thing can still be balanced on top. You have a dream that people will read the instructions first. Then you open the flat-pack bookcase, put the instructions to one side, and the dream, like the bookcase, has to wait. **Why it caught on:** Martin Luther King, the Baptist minister and civil rights leader who gave the "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and was assassinated in 1968, is one of the most quoted people in history. His real words are worth more than anything written over his face.
