More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The poor never get the job done they are sleepy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is a more excellent way, of love and nonviolent protest.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man can't ride your back unless it's bent.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
To have serpentlike qualities devoid of dovelike qualities is to be passionless, mean, and selfish.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A world war - God forbid! - will leave only smoldering ashes as a mute testimony of a human race whose folly led inexorably to untimely death. Yet there are those who sincerely feel that disarmament is an evil and international negotiation is an abominable waste of time.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear. That old law about an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind... The time is always right to do the right thing. Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is appalling that the most segregated hour of Christian America is eleven o'clock on Sunday morning.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today, is a great day to make a difference for someone. 'I have a dream'.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Without love, there is no reason to know anyone, for love will in the end connect us to our neighbors, our children and our hearts.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It all boils down to the fact that we must never allow ourselves to become satisfied with unattained goals. We must always maintain a kind of divine discontent.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation and this means we must develop a world perspective.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is within human nature an amazing potential for goodness.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Ten thousand fools proclaim themselves into obscurity, while one wise man forgets himself into immortality.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
All life is interrelated. The agony of the poor impoverishes the rich the betterment of the poor enriches the rich. We are inevitably our brother's keeper because we are our brother's brother. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
