By Martin Luther King - April 3, 1968:
“Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days
ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the
mountaintop. And I don't mind. 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 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.”

The next day he was assassinated.
Honey, I've been to the mountaintop with you......someday I'll be in the promised land with you. I can't wait.....I love you more than life itself.
