More quotes by 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.
I am convinced that love is the most durable power in the world. It is not an expression of impractical idealism, but of practical realism.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists, who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood. The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been nonconformists. In any cause that concerns the progress of mankind, put your faith in the nonconformist!
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love even for enemies is the key to the solution of the problems of our world.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is nothing more tragic in all the world than to know right and not to do it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If a city has a 30% Negro population, then it is logical to assume that Negroes should have at least 30% of the jobs in any particular company, and jobs in all categories rather than only in menial areas.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Universe is on the side of Justice
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must substitute courage for caution.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
O America, how you've taken necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular hometown.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Capital punishment is against the best judgment of modern criminology and, above all, against the highest expression of love in the nature of God.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is within human nature an amazing potential for goodness.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
[nonviolence] seeks to secure moral ends through moral means.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I never intend to adjust myself to the madness of militarism.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I never cease to wonder at the amazing presumption of much of white society, assuming that they have the right to bargain with the Negro for his freedom.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If I lived in a Communist country today where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I believe I would openly advocate disobeying these anti-religious laws.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
