More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.

The existence of poverty in the US should not be accepted as a necessary evil or insoluble problem, but should be considered a crisis requiring emergency measures. It is a matter of will and priorities, not a matter of resources.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
He who is greatest among you shall be a servant. That's the new definition of greatness. ... By giving that definition of greatness, it means that everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We have waited for more than three hundred and forty years for our constitutional and God-given rights.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hatred and bitterness can never cure the disease of fear only love can do that. Hatred paralyzes life love harmonies it. Hatred darkens life love illuminates it.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
The more I thought about human nature, the more I saw how our tragic inclination for sin/mistakes causes us to use our minds to rationalize our action.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I've seen too much hate to want to hate, myself.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It's very easy for one talking about violence and hatred for the white man to appeal to [Negro from ghetto]. I have never thought of this, but I think this is quite true, that if, even if you talk to them about nonviolence from a tactical point of view, they can't quite see it because they don't even know they're outnumbered.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must all learn to live together as brothers. Or we will all perish together as foolsFor some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must face the appalling fact that we have been betrayed by both the Democratic and Republican Parties.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The difference between a dreamer and a visionary is that a dreamer has his eyes closed and a visionary has his eyes open
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
