Martin Luther King, Jr.
In every age and every generation, men have envisioned a promised land. Some may have envisioned it with the wrong ideology, with the wrong philosophical presupposition. But men in every generation thought in terms of some promised land.

We must use time creatively.

Forgiveness does not mean ignoring what has been done or putting a false label on an evil act. It means, rather, that the evil act no longer remains as a barrier to the relationship. Forgiveness is a catalyst creating the atmosphere necessary for a fresh start and a new beginning.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Friends are forever Boys are whatever.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
For years now I have heard the word wait. It rings in the ear of every Negro with a piercing familiarity. This wait has almost always meant never.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular hometown.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I hate it when people quote me on the internet, claiming I said things that I never actually said.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Why should there be hunger and deprivation in any land, in any city, at any table, when man has the resources and the scientific know-how to provide all mankind with the basic necessities of life? There is no deficit in human resources. The deficit is in human will.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our lives are not fully lived if we're not willing to die for those we love, for what we believe.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
To have serpentlike qualities devoid of dovelike qualities is to be passionless, mean, and selfish.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is nothing new about poverty. What is new, however, is that we have the resources to get rid of it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We should never forget that everything Adolph Hitler did in Germany was legal and everything the Hungarian freedom fighers did in Hungary was illegal. It was illegal to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The real problem is that through our scientific genius we’ve made of the world a neighborhood, but through our moral and spiritual genius we’ve failed to make of it a brotherhood.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
