[00:00.140] I say to you this morning,
[00:02.717] that if you have never found something
[00:06.759] so dear and so precious to you that you will die for it,
[00:10.994] then you aren’t fit to live
[00:15.478] You may be 38 years old as I happen to be
[00:21.278] And one day some great opportunity stands before you
[00:26.188] And calls upon you to stand up for some great principle
[00:30.215] Some great issue, some great cause
[00:36.021] And you refuse to do it because you are afraid
[00:43.688] You refuse to do it because you want to live longer
[00:49.559] You’re afraid that you will lose your job
[00:52.322] Or you’re afraid that you will bе criticized
[00:55.091] Or that you will lose your popularity
[00:58.164] Or you’re afraid that somеbody will stab you or shoot at you or bomb your house
[01:03.651] And so you refuse to take the stand
[01:07.805] Well you may go on and live until you are 90
[01:14.280] But you’re just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90
[01:20.893] And the sensation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit
[01:29.822] You died when you refused to stand up for right
[01:34.999] You died when you refused to stand up for truth
[01:39.667] You died when you refused to stand up for justice
