More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
As we have seen, the first public expression of disenchantment with nonviolence arose around the question of 'self-defense.' In a sense this is a false issue, for the right to defend one's home and one's person when attacked has been guaranteed through the ages by common law.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Mother Dear, one day I'm going to turn this world upside down. --From My Brother Martin, by Christine King Farris
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The more I thought about human nature, the more I saw how our tragic inclination for sin/mistakes causes us to use our minds to rationalize our action.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is some good in the worst of us, and some evil in the best of us.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation and this means we must develop a world perspective.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must shift the arms race into a 'peace race'.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
From the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire, let freedom ring. From the mighty mountains of New York, let freedom ring. From the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania, let freedom ring. But not only that: Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Liberalism provided me with an intellectual satisfaction that I never found in fundamentalism. I became so enamored of the insights of liberalism that I almost fell into the trap of accepting uncritically everything it encompassed.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
True sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one's soul.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is appalling that the most segregated hour of Christian America is eleven o'clock on Sunday morning.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I just want to leave a committed life behind.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Only in the darkness can you see the stars.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is no easy way to create a world where men and women can live together... But if such a world is created in our lifetime, it will be done by rejecting the racism, materialism, and violence that has characterized Western civilization and especially by working toward a world of brotherhood, cooperation, and peace.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Had it not been for the ministry of my good friend Dr. Billy Graham, my work in the civil rights movement would not have been as successful as it has been.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There's something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies.
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.
Perhaps the worst sin in life is knowing right and not doing it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Are you able to accept blows without retaliating? and Are you able to endure the ordeals of jail?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
