More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Never, never be afraid to do what's right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
With all of its false assumptions and evil methods, communism grew as a protest against the hardships of the underprivileged. Communism in theory emphasized a classless society, and a concern for social justice, though the world knows from sad experience that in practice it created new classes and a new lexicon of injustice.
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.
The problem with hatred and violence is that they intensity the fears of the white majority, and leave them less ashamed of their prejudices toward Negroes.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
[Malcolm X] had said a great deal about nonviolence, criticizing nonviolence, and saying that I approved of Negro men and women being bitten by dogs and the fire hoses, and I say, say go on and not defend yourself. I think this kind of response grew out of the build up, all of the talk about my being a sort of polished Uncle Tom.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Make your way to death row and speak with the tragic victims of criminality. As they prepare to make their pathetic walk to the electric chair, their hopeless cry is that society will not forgive. Capital punishment is society's final assertion that it will not forgive.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If a man hasn't found anything worth dying for, he hasn't anything worth living for.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man who has nothing he is willing to die for has nothing worth living for
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think a revolution can survive without single centralized leadership.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I’ve been to the Mountaintop
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
All too many of those who live in affluent America ignore those who exist in poor America in doing so, the affluent Americans will eventually have to face themselves with the question that Eichman chose to ignore: How responsible am I for the well-being of my fellows?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The negro cannot win the respect of the white people of the south or the peoples of the world if he is willing to sell the future of his children for his personal and immediate comfort and safety.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is nothing new about poverty. What is new, however, is that we have the resources to get rid of it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We aren't engaged in any negative protest and in any negative arguments with anybody. We are saying that we are determined to be men. We are determined to be people. We are saying that we are God's children. And that we don't have to live like we are forced to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Ultimately a great nation is a compassionate nation.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Education without direction is a one-sided social value. Direct action without education is a meaningless expression of pure energy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Courage faces fear and thereby masters it
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We were not unmindful of the difficulties involved. So we decided to go through a process of self-purification.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
