More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Violence often brings about momentary results.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The truth may hurt, but love helps ease the pain.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I've decided to stick with love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.
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.
To deny a man a job is to say that a man has no right to exist.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Power is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice is love correcting everything that goes against love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Everyone has an opportunity to be great because everyone has an opportunity to serve.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The contemporary church is so often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. It is so often the arch supporter of the status quo.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The belief that God will do everything for man is as untenable as the belief that man can do everything for himself. It, too, is based on a lack of faith. We must learn that to expect God to do everything while we do nothing is not faith but superstition.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think the inconveniences of a segregated education are much greater than the inconveniences of busing students so that they can get an integrated quality education.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I know that God is not going to willfully hurt us. Why there is suffering is the business of the Lord, but He never seems to give us more than we can bear.
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.
There is little hope for us until we become tough-minded enough to break loose from the shackles of prejudice, half-truths, and down-right ignorance.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It's very easy for one talking about violence and hatred for the white man to appeal to [Negro from ghetto]. I have never thought of this, but I think this is quite true, that if, even if you talk to them about nonviolence from a tactical point of view, they can't quite see it because they don't even know they're outnumbered.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There may be a conflict between softminded religionists and toughminded scientists, but not between science and religion.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I admire the good samaritan, but I don't want to be one.I don't want to spend my life picking up people by the side of the road after they have been beaten up and robbed.I want to change the Jericho road, so that everybody has an opportunity for a job, education, security, health.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
