More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
We all can't be famous but we can all be great and we become great when we serve others
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The unemployed, poverty-stricken white man must be made to realize that he is in the very same boat with the Negro. Together, they could exert massive pressure on the government to get jobs for all. Together, they could form a grand alliance. Together, they could merge all people for the good of all.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is nothing but a lack of social vision to prevent us from paying an adequate wage to every American citizen whether he be a hospital worker, laundry worker, maid or day laborer
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is nothing more majestic than the determined courage of individuals willing to suffer and sacrifice for their freedom and dignity.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man does not measure its height in moments of comfort, but in terms of change and controversy
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I never intend to adjust myself to the madness of militarism.
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.
The government can't make people love me, but it can keep them from lynching me.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
... the right to defend one's home and one's person when attacked has been guaranteed through the ages by common law.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A true revolution of values will see that the western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just.
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.
Science deals mainly with facts religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.
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.
An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
My friends, all I'm trying to say is that if we are to go forward today, we've got to go back and rediscover some mighty precious values that we've left behind. That's the only way that we would be able to make of our world a better world, and to make of this world what God wants it to be and the real purpose and meaning of it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We will not build a peaceful world by following a negative path. It is not enough to say we will not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it. We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war, but on the positive affirmation of peace
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Unity has never meant uniformity.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A strong man must be militant as well as moderate. He must be a realist as well as an idealist.
