More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
When we rise in the morning... at the table we drink coffee which is provided to us by a South American, or tea by a Chinese, or cocoa by a West African before we leave for our jobs we are already beholden to more than half the world.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It's not burn baby burn, but learn, baby, learn, so that you can earn, baby, earn.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must shift the arms race into a 'peace race'.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It does not matter how long you live, but how well you do it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jazz speaks for life. The Blues tell the story of life's difficulties.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Vanity asks, is it popular? Politics ask, will it work? But conscience and morality ask, is it right?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I would be the last to condemn the thousands of sincere and dedicated people outside the churches who have labored unselfishly through various humanitarian movements to cure the world of social evils, for I would rather a man be a committed humanist than an uncommitted Christian.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Justice too long delayed is justice denied.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Only in the darkness can you see the stars.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men. Our hope for creative living lies in our ability to reestablish the spiritual needs of our lives in personal character and social justice. Without this spiritual and moral reawakening we shall destroy ourselves in the misuse of our own instruments.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Even though I have never had an abrupt conversion experience, religion has been real to me and closely knitted to life. In fact the two cannot be separated religion for me is life.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
God is not merely interestd in the freedom of brown men, yellow men, red men and black men.He is interested in the freedom of the whole human race.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The major problem of life is learning how to handle the costly interruptions. The door that slams shut, the plan that got sidetracked, the marriage that failed. Or that lovely poem that didn't get written because someone knocked on the door.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I came to the conclusion that there is an existential moment in your life when you must decide to speak for yourself nobody else can speak for you.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
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.
