More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
I hate it when people quote me on the internet, claiming I said things that I never actually said.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
What are you doing for others?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There are some things concerning which we must always be maladjusted if we are to be people of good will. We must never adjust ourselves to racial segregation. We must never adjust ourselves to religious bigotry. We must never adjust ourselves to economic conditions that take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law, or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
To deny a man a job is to say that a man has no right to exist.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Unity has never meant uniformity.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hatred and bitterness can never cure the disease of fear only love can do that. Hatred paralyzes life love harmonies it. Hatred darkens life love illuminates it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The SILENCE of the good people is more DANGEROUS than the BRUTALITY of the bad people
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The greatest pain is the pain of a new idea.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Only in the darkness can you see the stars.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I feel that the time is always right to do what is right. Where progress for the Negro in America is concerned, there is a tragic misconception of time among whites. They seem to cherish a strange, irrational notion that something in the very flow of time will cure all ills.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
As the weeks and months unfolded, we realized that we were the victims of a broken promise.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We know of no more crucial civil rights issue facing Congress today than the need to increase the federal minimum wage and extend its coverage.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have come to see more and more that one of the most decisive steps that the Negro can take is that little walk to the voting booth. That is an important step. We've got to gain the ballot, and through that gain, political power.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Ten thousand fools proclaim themselves into obscurity, while one wise man forgets himself into immortality.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Cowardice is submissive surrender to circumstances.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is little hope for us until we become tough-minded enough to break loose from the shackles of prejudice, half-truths, and down-right ignorance.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
