More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
You can’t reach good ends through evil means, because the means represent the seed and the end represents the tree.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The great military leaders of the past have gone, their empires have crumbled and burned to ashes. But the empire of Jesus, built solidly and majestically on the foundation of love, is still growing.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is my hope that as the Negro plunges deeper into the quest for freedom and justice he will plunge even deeper into the philosophy of non-violence.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It's just as evil to kill Vietnamese as it is to kill Americans.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.
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.
White Americans must be made to understand the basic motives underlying Negro demonstrations. Many pent-up resentments and latent frustrations are boiling inside the Negro, and he must release them. It is not a threat but a fact of history that if an oppressed people's pent-up emotions are not nonviolently released, they will be violently released.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you haven't found something worth dying for, you're not fit to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
My obligation is to do the right thing. The rest is in God's hands.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Friends are forever Boys are whatever.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I was in the kitchen drinking coffee when I heard Coretta cry, Martin, Martin, come quickly! I put down my cup and ran toward the living room. As I approached the front window Coretta pointed joyfully to a slowly moving bus: Darling, it's empty!
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Power is the ability to achieve purpose.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A second way that oppressed people sometimes deal with oppression is to resort to physical violence and corroding hatred.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must use time creatively.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
