Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our children need our presence, not our presents.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Be an artist at whatever you do. Even if you are a street sweeper, be the Michelangelo of street sweepers.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nothing is so much needed as a secure family life for a people seeking to rise out of poverty and backwardness.

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There comes a time when a moral man can't obey a law which his conscience tells him is unjust.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The church must be reminded that it is not the master, or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Capitalism started out with a noble and high motive, but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
