And see ominous clouds of inferiority beginning to form in her little mental sky.
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.
When we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city...
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Through violence, you may murder the hater, but you do not murder the hate.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think the first reason that we should love our enemies, and I think this was at the very center of Jesus' thinking, is this: that hate for hate only intensifies the existence of hate and evil in the universe.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
I’ve been to the Mountaintop
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If we get setbacks and if something happens where the Civil Rights Bill is watered down, for instance, if the Negro feels that he can do nothing but move from one ghetto to another and one slum to another, the despair and the disappointment will be so great that it will be very difficult to keep the struggle disciplined and nonviolent.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The world in which we live is geographically one. The challenge that we face today is to make it one in terms of brotherhood.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
To be Negro in America is to hope against hope.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism... We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.
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.
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.
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.
From my Christian formation've gotten my ideals and technique Gandhi action
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God's children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If I knew that the world ends tomorrow, I, even today, plant a tree
Martin Luther King, Jr.
