More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
And before you finish eating breakfast in the morning, you've depended on more than half of the world. This is the way our universe is structured, this is its interrelated quality.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must shift the arms race into a 'peace race'.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Mother Dear, one day I'm going to turn this world upside down. --From My Brother Martin, by Christine King Farris
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Success, recognition, and conformity are the bywords of the modern world where everyone seems to crave the anesthetizing security of being identified with the majority.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The unemployed, poverty-stricken white man must be made to realize that he is in the very same boat with the Negro. Together, they could exert massive pressure on the government to get jobs for all. Together, they could form a grand alliance. Together, they could merge all people for the good of all.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If a man hasn't found anything worth dying for, he hasn't anything worth living for.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Alienation is a form of living death. It is the acid of despair that dissolves society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I plan to stand by nonviolence, because I have found it to be a philosophy of life that regulates not only my dealings in the struggle for racial justice, but also my dealings with people, and with my own self.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is a sad fact that because of comfort, complacency, a morbid fear of communism, and our proneness to adjust to injustice, the Western nations that initiated so much of the revolutionary spirit of the modern world have now become the arch-antirevolutionaries.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It was argued that the Negro was inferior by nature because of Noah's curse upon the children of Ham.... The greatest blasphemy of the whole ugly process was that the white man ended up making God his partner in the exploitation of the Negro.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
By opening our lives to God in Christ, we become new creatures. This experience, which Jesus spoke of as the new birth, is essential if we are to be transformed nonconformists . . . Only through an inner spiritual transformation do we gain the strength to fight vigorously the evils of the world in a humble and loving spirit.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Before it is too late, we must narrow the gaping chasm between our proclomations of peace and our lowly deeds which precipitate and perpetuate war.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nonviolence is absolute commitment to the way of love. Love is not emotional bash it is not empty sentimentalism. It is the active outpouring of one's whole being into the being of another.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is nothing new about poverty. What is new, however, is that we have the resources to get rid of it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There may have been a time when war served as a negative good by preventing the spread and growth of an evil force, but the destructive power of modern weapons eliminates even the possibility that war may serve as a negative good.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love is the only creative, redemptive, transforming power, in the universe.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Friends are forever Boys are whatever.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
