More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our age is one of guided missiles and unguided men.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
He (Jesus) knew that the old eye-for-eye philosophy would leave everyone blind. He did not seek to overcome evil with evil. He overcame evil with good. Although crucified by hate, he responded with aggressive love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
O America, how you've taken necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.

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.
If America's soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read Vietnam. It can never be saved so long as it destroys the hopes of men the world over.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every word and deed must contribute to an understanding with the enemy and release those vast reservoirs of goodwill which have been blocked by impenetrable walls of hate.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
When people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We as Christians have a mandate to be nonconformists.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Negro is the child of two cultures - Africa and America. The problem is that in the search for wholeness all too many Negroes seek to embrace only one side of their natures.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our generation will not have regretted both perverse crimes, and the eerie silence of the kind
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I hate it when people quote me on the internet, claiming I said things that I never actually said.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We are out to defeat injustice and not white persons who may be unjust.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
This is the unusual thing about nonviolence -- nobody is defeated, everybody shares in the victory.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that a system that produces beggars needs to be repaved. We are called to be the Good Samaritan, but after you lift so many people out of the ditch you start to ask, maybe the whole road to Jericho needs to be repaved.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The strong man is the man who can stand up for his rights and not hit back.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
