2. “If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should
sweep streets even as a Michaelangelo 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.

it. Claim it."
