More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jazz speaks for life. This is triumphant music.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think that we must face the fact that in reality, you cannot have economic and political equality without having some form of social equality. I think this is inevitable.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The poor never get the job done they are sleepy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Violence often brings about momentary results.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The spirit of Lincoln still lives that spirit born of the teachings of the Nazarene, who promised mercy to the merciful, who lifted the lowly, strengthened the weak, ate with publicans, and made the captives free. In the light of this divine example, the doctrines of demagogues shiver in their chaff.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A strong man must be militant as well as moderate. He must be a realist as well as an idealist.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jazz speaks for life. The Blues tell the story of life's difficulties.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
As a young man with most of my life ahead of me, I decided early to give my life to something eternal and absolute. Not to these little gods that are here today and gone tomorrow. But to God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The self cannot be self without other selves.
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.
I have a dream! To be free at last! Free at last! Free at last. And if a man has nothing to die for, Then his life is worth nothing.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Be the best of whatever you are.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Whenever you are engaged in work that serves humanity and is for the building of humanity, it has dignity and it has worth.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you succumb to the temptation of using violence in the struggle, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness, and your chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today, is a great day to make a difference for someone. 'I have a dream'.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven't learned to walk the earth as brothers and sisters
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you have not discovered something you are willing to die for, then you are not fit to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
