More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man who has nothing he is willing to die for has nothing worth living for
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Being a Negro in America means trying to smile when you want to cry. It means trying to hold on to physical life amid psychological death. It means the pain of watching your children grow up with clouds of inferiority in their mental skies. It means having their legs off, and then being condemned for being a cripple.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The poor in our countries have been shut out of our minds and driven from the mainstream of our societies, because we have allowed them to become invisible.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
If I lived in a Communist country today where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I believe I would openly advocate disobeying these anti-religious laws.
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 end of life is not to be happy, nor to achieve pleasure and avoid pain, but to do the will of God, come what may.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think a revolution can survive without single centralized leadership.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Lord help me to see M. L. King as M. L. King in his true perspective.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Segregation is the adultery of an illicit intercourse between injustice and immorality.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Faith can give us courage to face the uncertainties of the future.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think there can be a collective leadership. Maybe some symbolize the struggle [for human's rights] a little more than others, but I think it's absolutely necessary for the leadership to be united in order to make the revolution effective.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is a more excellent way, of love and nonviolent protest.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
School takes 13 years, because that is how long it takes to break a child's spirit.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
