I am trying to find out who said below quote . Any help would be Excellet:
"If a man is called a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and Earth will pause to say, Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."

This quote reminds me of one my all-time favorite quotes:
"Honor and shame from no condition rise;
Act well your part, there all honor lies."
~ Alexander Pope, An Essay on Man
