In this way, the book gives us a lot of starting points to learn together. It even gives a starting point for perhaps one of the most important lessons I hope to share with my daughter: to try to leave our planet healthier than it was when we were born. Even though the transition to this message is a little bit of a far stretch in the book, it certainly offers inspiration to live up to this goal. Definitely wonderful wisdom for all ages!

All this wisdom the husbandman has, in manuring his ground, in sowing it with proper seed, and in threshing it out in a manner suitable to it. Agriculture or husbandry, even among the Heathens, is always ascribed to God, as an invention of his, and it was the first work which God put man to, and instructed him in, ( Genesis 3:23 ) ( 4:2 ) and as this, so all other arts, and sciences, and manufactures, come from God, even all things in nature, providence, and grace, and the knowledge of them; wherefore he himself must be infinitely wise and knowing; see ( Psalms 94:9 Psalms 94:10 ) and be as he is next described: [which] is wonderful in counsel:
in giving counsel to man, both with respect to things temporal and spiritual; and whose counsel is always wise and good, and for the best; and, when taken, infallibly succeeds. See an instance of his wonderful counsel, ( Revelation 3:18 ) and also he is "wonderful" in forming wise plans and schemes of operation; the wise plan of his works of creation and providence was formed in his vast and infinite mind from eternity; the wise scheme of our redemption and salvation by Christ was concerted by him, wherein he has abounded towards us in all wisdom and prudence; and the manner, means, time, and place, of his gathering and the effectual calling of his people, are all wisely fixed by him; and he does all things after "the counsel of his will", ( Ephesians 1:11 ) and therefore it follows: [and] excellent in working;
both as to the matter or things wrought by him, which are the most excellent things in nature, providence, and grace, wrought out either by the Father, or the Son, or the Holy Spirit; and as to manner of working, all being done well and wisely; and likewise with respect to the end, his own glory, and the good of his people.

What a tremendous privilege it is to be with you at this historic church, on this wonderful day, to remember an extraordinary man. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a man committed to peace - and a man committed to change. He was a practical man who is best known for having articulated a great American dream. He deeply loved his country - and because he did, he constantly reminded America of her unfilled promises. Doctor King exerted a tremendous influence on his time - and he continues to speak to ours as well. Martin Luther King, Jr. shaped our laws and values, our conscience and our history. And Doctor King was guided by a single, overpowering conviction: the dignity and worth of every member of the human family. That is what he lived for - and that is what he died for. There are countless reasons to admire Doctor King, including his "persistent bravery"1and personal grace, his commitment to justice, his wisdom and deep compassion. One of the most remarkable things about him is that he was the object of so much bigotry and hatred - and yet he never grew bitter or cynical. He never resorted to violence or anger. And he never ceased to love others. Slavery and segregation were America's besetting sins - and Doctor King, along with President Lincoln, lifted those sins from American life and American law. American history is unimaginable without him.But I must tell you that there is another reason I hold Martin Luther King, Jr. in such high regard - and that is his passionate commitment to education. Doctor King had wonderful parents wonderful teachers and wonderful mentors. He believed a good education was the birthright of every American child. He viewed it as the gateway to greater opportunity and a better life, and as a way to ensure equal rights and social justice. It is worth reminding ourselves that as a young black man, growing up under Jim Crow in the middle of the twentieth century, Martin Luther King, Jr. turned to the writings of history's greatest philosophers for wisdom and practical guidance. He immersed himself in thinkers from Plato and Aristotle, down to Rousseau, Hobbes, Mill and Locke. His incredible education allowed him to become the twentieth century's greatest advocate of the American dream, and the true meaning of the Declaration of Independence.Doctor King also understood that education is about more than reading and writing and arithmetic - even though those are vital. He understood that education is also about shaping children's character - and helping them to become good citizens. Since Doctor King's passing, times have changed, but principles have not. I can't help but believe that Doctor King would have been pleased with the recent education bill that was overwhelmingly passed by the United States Congress and signed into law by my husband. I think he would have been pleased that we have begun a new era in public education that America's schools are on a new path of reform and results and that every child in America will now have an equal chance to grow in knowledge and character. I think he would have been pleased that we will be spending a lot more money on education - and that we will be spending it on what works. And I know he would have supported the principle of the legislation, which is that no child in America will be left behind. I also think Doctor King would have appreciated the bipartisan cooperation that took place. Senator Kennedy and my husband belong to different political parties - but they worked side by side to turn an idea into law - and a hope into reality. Republicans and Democrats put their country ahead of their party - and they dealt with one another with respect and civility.Laws are important - but so is lifting people's vision. In a sermon preached in Montgomery, Alabama - at the height of the civil rights struggle, when passions were inflamed and segregation was still the law of the land - Doctor King once again reached for the moral high ground, as only he could. "As you press on for justice, be sure to move with dignity and discipline," he said, "using only the weapon of love. Let no man pull you so low as to hate him." Near the end of his remarkable sermon, this remarkable man said the following:"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. I think I have discovered the highest good. It is love."Martin Luther King, Jr. lived less than forty years. His life was often filled with pain. But he stood for truth. He did the will of God. And he made America a far better, and more just, nation.All of us are deeply indebted to him, to his wife and family, and to all of those who gave him strength for the journey.Thank you very much. 1In 1965 President Johnson said this about the participants in the civil rights movement, and Doctor King: "And who among us can say we would have made the same progress were it not for his persistent bravery and his faith in American democracy."
