Martin Luther King, Jr.
I question and soul-search constantly into myself to be as certain as I can that I am fulfilling the true meaning of my work, that I am maintaining my sense of purpose, that I am holding fast to my ideals, that I am guiding my people in the right direction.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The modern choice is between non-violence or non-existence.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I'm thinking of love in action and not something where you say, Love your enemies, and just leave it at that, but you love your enemies to the point that you're willing to sit-in at a lunch counter in order to help them find themselves. You're willing to go to jail.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
To have peace in the world, men & nations must embrace the nonviolent assertion that ends and means must cohere.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
