Wisdom of Martin Luther King, Jr.

The ultimate gift we can give the world is to grow our tiny humans into adult humans who are independent thinkers…Our world needs more adults who question and challenge and hold the powerful accountable.
L.R. Knost

Here are some of my favorite insights from Martin Luther King, Jr. that apply to our work as early childhood leaders:

"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education."

"All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence."

"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."

"A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus."
