Martin Luther King, Jr.
Why is the church always a taillight rather than a headlight?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I may not be the man I want to be I may not be the man I ought to be I may not be the man I could be I may not be the man I truly can be but praise God, I'm not the man I once was
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Ten thousand fools proclaim themselves into obscurity, while one wise man forgets himself into immortality.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A social movement that only moves people is merely a revolt. A movement that changes both people and institutions is a revolution.

Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
