More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
We live in a world of guided missiles and misguided men.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I must face the fact, as all others in positions of leadership must do, that America today is an extremely sick nation, and that something could well happen to me at any time. I feel, though, that my cause is so right, so moral, that if I should lose my life, in some way it would aid the cause.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
One day we will learn that the heart can never be totally right if the head is totally wrong. Only through the bringing together of head and heart-intelligence and goodness-shall man rise to a fulfillment of his true nature.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We need to recapture the gospel glow of the early Christians who were nonconformists in the truest sense of the word . . . Their powerful gospel put an end to such barbaric evils as infanticide and bloody gladiatorial contests. Finally, they captured the Roman Empire for Jesus Christ.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.
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.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In spite of its glowing talk about the welfare of the masses, Communism's methods and philosophy strip man of his dignity and worth, leaving him as little more than a depersonalized cog in the ever-turning wheel of the state.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Whatever your life's work is, do it well.
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.
I do think there must be centralized leadership in the sense that, say, in our struggle all of the leaders coordinate their efforts, cooperate and, and at least evince a degree of unity.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The beauty of genuine brotherhood and peace is more precious than diamonds or silver or gold.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Segregation...not only harms one physically but injures one spiritually...It scars the soul...It is a system which forever stares the segregated in the face, saying 'You are less than...''You are not equal to...'
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Often the oppressor goes along unaware of the evil involved in his oppression so long as the oppressed accepts it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Peace is not merely the absence of war but the presence of justice, of law, of order —in short, of government.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I firmly believe that the Gandhian philosophy of nonviolent resistance is the only logical and moral approach to the solution of the race problem in the United States.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial outside agitator idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must substitute courage for caution.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our children need our presence, not our presents.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Somehow we must transform the dynamics of the world power struggle from the negative nuclear arms race which no one can win to a positive contest to harness man's creative genius for the purpose of making peace and prosperity a reality for all of the nations of the world.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The road to freedom is a difficult, hard road. It always makes for temporary setbacks.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
