Martin Luther King, Jr.
War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I would rather be a man of conviction than a man of conformity
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
