More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Forgiveness is not an occasional act. It is a permanent attitude. That which I was not but could have been. That which I would have done but did not do. Can I find the fortitude to remember in truth,to understand, to submit, to forgive and to be free to move on in time?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Unfortunately, most of the major denominations still practice segregation in local churches, hospitals, schools, and other church institutions. It is appalling that the most segregated hour of Christian America is eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, the same hour when many are standing to sing: In Christ There Is No East Nor West.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Racial segregation must be seen for what it is, and that is an evil system, a new form of slavery covered up with certain niceties of complexity.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
My friends, all I'm trying to say is that if we are to go forward today, we've got to go back and rediscover some mighty precious values that we've left behind. That's the only way that we would be able to make of our world a better world, and to make of this world what God wants it to be and the real purpose and meaning of it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Power is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice is love correcting everything that goes against love.

God has given each normal person a capacity to achieve some end. True, some are endowed with more talent than others, but God has left none of us talentless.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact...that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological abundance We've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven't learned to walk the Earth as brothers and sisters.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is a cruel injustice to tell a bootless man to pull himself up by his bootstraps.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A productive and happy life is not something you find it is something you make.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Education must enable a man to become more efficient, to achieve with increasing facility the legitimate goals of his life.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Right defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.
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.
