More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Be the best of whatever you are.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Many white Americans of good will have never connected bigotry with economic exploitation. They have deplored prejudice but tolerated or ignored economic injustice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
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.
We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will and we will still love you....Bomb our homes and threaten our children, and, as difficult as it is, we will still love you.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The greatest purveyor of violence in the world : My own Government, I can not be Silent.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Unless you have found something in life to live for that is more important to you than your own life, you will always be a slave. For all another man needs to do is threaten to take your life to get you to do his bidding.
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.
Whatever my doubts, however heavy the burden, I feel that I must accept the task of helping to make this nation and this world a better place to live in - for all men, black and white alike.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It all boils down to this: that all life is interrelated.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must use time creatively.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There's something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We may win a battle, but if in doing so we have planted thousands of seeds of hatred and fear..the war is not over- only the present conflict has ceased. There will be no peace as long as we react to violence with violence.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is something wrong with our world, something fundamentally and basically wrong.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love is the supreme unifying principle of life.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
White man and black man, jew and gentile, protestant and catholic, will be able to hold hands and sing in the words of the ancient negro spiritual, Free at last, free at last. Thank God almighty! We are free at last!
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Millions of citizens are deeply disturbed that the military-industrial complex too often shapes national policy, but they do not want to be considered unpatriotic.
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.
