The Ultimate Measure of a Man


When I told my friend I had an appointment to get this tattoo last week, he told me he was going to get a tattoo when he gets to North Carolina. It's going to have an image of the State of New Jersey, and under it is going to say "By Birth" and he is also going to have an image of the state of North Carolina, and under that it is going to say "By Choice".

That's fine and good for him, I suppose, but it's distasteful to me.

If I ever get the courage to endure the pain, I want to get a tattoo that says "The Ultimate Measure of a Man" on the soles of my feet because Dr. King said:

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

Warm Regards,

1. A tattoo on the bottom of your feet will never heal right

2. Thanks
Now I am thinking about getting the word "ultimate" on the top of one foot and "measure" on top of the other. How about that?
