More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The existence of poverty in the US should not be accepted as a necessary evil or insoluble problem, but should be considered a crisis requiring emergency measures. It is a matter of will and priorities, not a matter of resources.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today, is a great day to make a difference for someone. 'I have a dream'.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A religion true to its nature must also be concerned about man's social conditions....A ny religion that professes to be concerned with the souls of men and is not concerned with the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them, and the social conditions that cripple them is a dry-as-dust religion.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
You cannot defect form an insight. You cannot unsee what you have seen.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is something wrong with our world, something fundamentally and basically wrong.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We ain't goin' study war no more.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Many men cry Peace! Peace! but they refuse to do the things that make for peace.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The road to freedom is a difficult, hard road. It always makes for temporary setbacks.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Those of us who love peace must organize as effectively as the war hawks. As they spread the propaganda of war, we must spread the propaganda of peace.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Whenever you are engaged in work that serves humanity and is for the building of humanity, it has dignity and it has worth.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Sooner or later, all the peoples of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace, and thereby transform this pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation -- either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I am convinced that love is the most durable power in the world. It is not an expression of impractical idealism, but of practical realism.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Perhaps the worst sin in life is knowing right and not doing it.
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.
Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Something should remind us once more that the great things in this universe are things that we never see.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
