I have decided to love. If you are seeking the highest good, I think you can find it through love.

He who hates does not know God, but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.

If the cruelties of slavery could not stop us, the opposition we now face will surely fail. Because the goal of America is freedom, abused and scorned tho' we may be, our destiny is tied up with America's destiny.
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.
