More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Many white Americans of good will have never connected bigotry with economic exploitation. They have deplored prejudice but tolerated or ignored economic injustice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A world war - God forbid! - will leave only smoldering ashes as a mute testimony of a human race whose folly led inexorably to untimely death. Yet there are those who sincerely feel that disarmament is an evil and international negotiation is an abominable waste of time.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The hope of the world is still in dedicated minorities. The trail-blazers in human, scientific and religious freedom have always been in a minority.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must combine the toughness of the serpent with the softness of the dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I choose to give my life for those who have been left out of the sunlight of opportunity
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Unity has never meant uniformity.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Sooner or later, all the peoples of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace, and thereby transform this pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.
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.
Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every crisis has both its dangers and its opportunities. Each can spell either salvation or doom.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
America, you must be born again!
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The time is always right to do what is right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The day we see the truth and cease to speak is the day we begin to die
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A right delayed is a right denied.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
