More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The curse of poverty has no justification in our age.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation -- either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must move forward in the days ahead with audacious faith. The moral arc of the universe is long but it bends toward justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
So when Jesus says Love your enemies, he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
With the tough mind, there must also be a tender heart.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We need to recapture the gospel glow of the early Christians who were nonconformists in the truest sense of the word . . . Their powerful gospel put an end to such barbaric evils as infanticide and bloody gladiatorial contests. Finally, they captured the Roman Empire for Jesus Christ.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Injustice anywhere threatens justice everywhere.
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.
The Christian faith makes it possible for us nobly to accept that which cannot be changed, and to meet disappointments and sorrow with an inner poise, and to absorb the most intense pain without abandoning our sense of hope.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A society is always eager to cover misdeeds with a cloak of forgetfulness, but no society can fully repress an ugly past when the ravages persist into the present. America owes a debt of justice which it has only begun to pay.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Something should remind us once more that the great things in this universe are things that we never see.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The job of the school is to teach so well that family background is no longer an issue.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Power at its best is love implementing the demand of justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Without God, all of our efforts turn to ashes and our sunrise into the darkest of nights.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The problem with hatred and violence is that they intensity the fears of the white majority, and leave them less ashamed of their prejudices toward Negroes.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our present policies... True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. A true revolution of values will soon look on uneasily upon the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth with righteous indignation.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The great majority of Americans are suspended between these opposing attitudes. They are uneasy with injustice but unwilling yet to pay a significant price to eradicate it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you've got nothing worth dying for, you've got nothing worth living for.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If humanity is to progress, Gandhi is inescapable.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
