More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The poor in our countries have been shut out of our minds and driven from the mainstream of our societies, because we have allowed them to become invisible.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
And one day we must ask the question, Why are there forty million poor people in America? And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
This will be the day when we shall bring into full realization the dream of American democracy - a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Alienation is a form of living death. It is the acid of despair that dissolves society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
What seems so necessary today may not even be desirable tomorrow.
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.
Please be peaceful. We believe in law and order. We are not advocating violence, I want you to love your enemies... for what we are doing is right, what we are doing is just -- and God is with us.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every genuine expression of love grows out of a consistent and total surrender to God.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Ten cures for depression are to go out and do something for someone else and repeat it nine times.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal
Martin Luther King, Jr.
What is more tragic than to see a person who has risen to the disciplined heights of tough-mindedness but has at the same time sunk to the passionless depths of hard-heartedness?
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.
A man who hasn't found anything he'd die for doesn't deserve to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We have waited for more than three hundred and forty years for our constitutional and God-given rights.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular hometown.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists, who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood. The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been nonconformists. In any cause that concerns the progress of mankind, put your faith in the nonconformist!
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.
