More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is no easy way to create a world where men and women can live together... But if such a world is created in our lifetime, it will be done by rejecting the racism, materialism, and violence that has characterized Western civilization and especially by working toward a world of brotherhood, cooperation, and peace.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Where evil men would seek to perpetuate an unjust status quo, good men must seek to bring into being a real order of justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Great people aren't those who are happy at times of convienience and content, but of how they are in times of catastrophy and controversy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
O America, how you've taken necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
While the question of who killed President Kennedy is important, the question 'what killed him' is more important.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The ability to lead a happy life is made, not found
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I would suffer all the humiliation, all the torture, the absolute ostracism and even death, to prevent violence
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Many of the ugly pages of American history have been obscured and forgotten....America owes a debt of justice which it has only begun to pay. If it loses the will to finish or slackens in its determination, history will recall its crimes and the country that would be great will lack the most indispensable element of greatness-justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have an ultimate faith in America and an audacious faith in mankind.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you've got nothing worth dying for, you've got nothing worth living for.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We did not hesitate to call our movement an army. But it was a special army, with no supplies but its sincerity, no uniform but its determination, no arsenal except its faith, no currency but its conscience.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in.
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.
Perhaps the worst sin in life is knowing right and not doing it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
When people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think there can be a collective leadership. Maybe some symbolize the struggle [for human's rights] a little more than others, but I think it's absolutely necessary for the leadership to be united in order to make the revolution effective.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that a system that produces beggars needs to be repaved. We are called to be the Good Samaritan, but after you lift so many people out of the ditch you start to ask, maybe the whole road to Jericho needs to be repaved.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I am what I am because of who we all are.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
