Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
For you will never be what you ought to be until they [your fellow humans] are what they ought to be.
