More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every word and deed must contribute to an understanding with the enemy and release those vast reservoirs of goodwill which have been blocked by impenetrable walls of hate.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We know nothing about Africa, although our roots are there in terms of our forbearers. But I mean as far as the average Negro today, he knows nothing about Africa. And I think he's got to face the fact that he is an American, his culture is basically American, and one becomes adjusted to this when he realizes what, what he is.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Whenever you are engaged in work that serves humanity and is for the building of humanity, it has dignity and it has worth.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Many of the ugly pages of American history have been obscured and forgotten....America owes a debt of justice which it has only begun to pay. If it loses the will to finish or slackens in its determination, history will recall its crimes and the country that would be great will lack the most indispensable element of greatness-justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love is creative, understanding goodwill for all men. It is the refusal to defeat any individual. When you rise to the level of love, of its great beauty and power, you seek only to defeat evil systems. Individuals who happen to be caught up in that system, you love, but you seek to defeat the system.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you want to move people, it has to be toward a vision that's positive for them, that taps important values, that gets them something they desire and it has to be presented in a compelling way so that they feel inspired to follow.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
You only need a heart full of grace
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.
I have a dream, one dream, keep dreaming. Dream of freedom, justice dreaming, dreaming of equality and hopefully no longer required to dream them
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A second way that oppressed people sometimes deal with oppression is to resort to physical violence and corroding hatred.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
You can kill the dreamer, but you can't kill the dream.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
What good does it do to sit at the counter when you cannot afford a hamburger?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Courage faces fear and thereby masters it
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Many white Americans of good will have never connected bigotry with economic exploitation. They have deplored prejudice but tolerated or ignored economic injustice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Ultimately a great nation is a compassionate nation.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I’ve been to the Mountaintop
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Is is always time to do the right thing.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Be the best of whatever you are.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
To dislocate the functioning of a city without destroying it can be more effective than a riot because it can be longer-lasting, costly to the society but not wantonly destructive, moreover, it is more difficult for Government to quell it by superior force.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
