Martin Luther King, Jr.
Everyone has the power for greatness, not for fame but greatness, because greatness is determined by service.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The way of acquiescence leads to moral and spiritual suicide. The way of violence leads to bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers. But, the way of nonviolence leads to redemption and the creation of the beloved community.
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.
If a man has not discovered anything so dying is not worth living
Martin Luther King, Jr.
But alas! Science cannot now rescue us, for even the scientist is lost in the terrible midnight of our age. Indeed, science gave us the very instruments that threaten to bring universal suicide.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
