Martin Luther King, Jr.
True sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one's soul.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A productive and happy life is not something you find it is something you make.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nothing degrades a man do more than the allowed stoop so low as to hate someone
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
