Martin Luther King, Jr.
So when Jesus says Love your enemies, he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Vanity asks, is it popular? Politics ask, will it work? But conscience and morality ask, is it right?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The modern choice is between non-violence or non-existence.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land.
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.
Nothing degrades a man do more than the allowed stoop so low as to hate someone
Martin Luther King, Jr.
