More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The idea of a superior or inferior race is a myth that has been completely refuted by anthropological evidence.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
One day we will learn that the heart can never be totally right if the head is totally wrong. Only through the bringing together of head and heart-intelligence and goodness-shall man rise to a fulfillment of his true nature.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A social movement that only moves people is merely a revolt. A movement that changes both people and institutions is a revolution.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A second thing that an individual must do in seeking to love his enemy is to discover the element of good in his enemy, and everytime you begin to hate that person and think of hating that person, realize that there is some good there and look at those good points which will over-balance the bad points.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is something wrong with our world, something fundamentally and basically wrong.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is no deficit in human resources the deficit is in human will.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Don't allow anybody to make you feel that you're nobody.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Some things are right, whether nobody sees you doing them or not.
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.
Perhaps the worst sin in life is knowing right and not doing it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Men often hate each other because they fear each other they fear each other because they don't know each other they don't know each other because they can not communicate they can not communicate because they are separated.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is such a thing as the freedom of exhaustion. Some people are so worn down by the yoke of oppression that they give up. [...] The oppressed must never allow the conscience of the oppressor to slumber. [...] To accept injustice or segregation passively is to say to the oppressor that his actions are morally right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The labor movement was the principal force that transformed misery and despair into hope and progress. Out of its bold struggles, economic and social reform gave birth to unemployment insurance, old age pensions, government relief for the destitute, and, above all, new wage levels that meant not mere survival but a tolerable life.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I just want to leave a committed life behind.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever. The yearning for freedom eventually manifests itself.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Power at its best is love implementing the demand of justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The great military leaders of the past have gone, their empires have crumbled and burned to ashes. But the empire of Jesus, built solidly and majestically on the foundation of love, is still growing.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Use me, God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what I can do, and use it for a purpose greater than myself.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
