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 any man,
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.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
Don't be trapped by dogma -
which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage
to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.

Today would be a wonderful day
not to take life so seriously.
Today may end up the way you prefer -
and it may not.

Let life be a dance,
and choose the kind of
dance you want for today -
perhaps a gentle loving dance.

for future generations.
Create the legacy of a better world.

use this symbolism - this imagery -
to represent the kind of legacy
you want to leave to future generations.
