More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
As I like to say to the people in Montgomery: The tension in this city is not between white people and Negro people. The tension is, at bottom, between justice and injustice, between the forces of light and the forces of darkness.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Make your way to death row and speak with the tragic victims of criminality. As they prepare to make their pathetic walk to the electric chair, their hopeless cry is that society will not forgive. Capital punishment is society's final assertion that it will not forgive.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man can't ride your back unless it's bent.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I agree with Dante, that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality. There comes a time when silence becomes betrayal.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Perhaps the worst sin in life is knowing right and not doing it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In spite of the fact that the law of revenge solves no social problems, men continue to follow its disastrous leading. History is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path.
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.
A productive and happy life is not something you find it is something you make.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I am what I am because of who we all are.
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.
If a man has not discovered anything so dying is not worth living
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will and we will still love you....Bomb our homes and threaten our children, and, as difficult as it is, we will still love you.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
History has thrust something upon me from which I cannot turn away.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We as Christians have a mandate to be nonconformists.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
How hard it is for people to live without someone to look down upon-really to look down upon. It is not just that they feel cheated out of someone to hate. It is that they are compelled to look more closely into themselves and what they don't like about themselves.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must pursue peaceful end through peaceful means.
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.
Your truth will increase as you know listen to the truth of others
Martin Luther King, Jr.
