Martin Luther King, Jr., on Doing God's Will

I still believe that standing up for the truth of God is the greatest thing in the world. This is the end of life. The end of life is not to be happy. The end of life is not to achieve pleasure and avoid pain. The end of life is to do the will of God, come what may.

—Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
