More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hate is too heavy a burden to bear.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Unfortunately, most of the major denominations still practice segregation in local churches, hospitals, schools, and other church institutions. It is appalling that the most segregated hour of Christian America is eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, the same hour when many are standing to sing: In Christ There Is No East Nor West.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
My parents would always tell me that I should not hate the white man, but that it was my duty as a Christian to love him.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jesus is not an impractical idealist he is the practical realist.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love is basic for the very survival of mankind. I'm convinced that love is the only absolute ultimately love is the highest good. He who loves has somehow discovered the meaning of ultimate reality. He who hates does not know God he who hates has no knowledge of God. Love is the supreme unifying principle of life.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nonviolence is absolute commitment to the way of love. Love is not emotional bash it is not empty sentimentalism. It is the active outpouring of one's whole being into the being of another.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The law of An eye for an eye will eventually leave everyone blind.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Being a Negro in America means trying to smile when you want to cry. It means trying to hold on to physical life amid psychological death. It means the pain of watching your children grow up with clouds of inferiority in their mental skies. It means having their legs off, and then being condemned for being a cripple.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our goal is to create a beloved community, said Dr. King, and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
You can kill the dreamer, but you can't kill the dream.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Evil must be attacked by. . . the day to day assault of the battering rams of justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
My obligation is to do the right thing. The rest is in God's hands.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
When I took up the cross I recognized it's meaning. The cross is something that you bear, and ultimately, that you die on.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Another reason why we must love our enemies is that hate scars the soul and distorts the personality.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
For years, I labored with the idea of reforming the existing institutions in the South, a little change here, a little change there. Now I feel quite differently. I think you've got to have a reconstruction of the entire system, a revolution of values.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land
Martin Luther King, Jr.
