A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law, or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law.

More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
I want to suggest some of the things that should begin your life's blueprint. Number one...should be a deep belief in your own dignity. Your worth and your own somebodiness... Always feel that you count. Always feel that you have worth, and always feel that your life has ultimate significance.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We are faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. Procrastination is still the thief of time. Over the bleached bones and jumbled residues of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words ‘Too Late’.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jazz speaks for life. The Blues tell the story of life's difficulties.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Without God, all of our efforts turn to ashes and our sunrise into the darkest of nights.

What good does it do to sit at the counter when you cannot afford a hamburger?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I feel that the time is always right to do what is right. Where progress for the Negro in America is concerned, there is a tragic misconception of time among whites. They seem to cherish a strange, irrational notion that something in the very flow of time will cure all ills.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have decided to love. If you are seeking the highest good, I think you can find it through love. And the beautiful thing is that we are moving against wrong when we do it, because John was right, God is 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.
The road to freedom is a difficult, hard road. It always makes for temporary setbacks.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Ten cures for depression are to go out and do something for someone else and repeat it nine times.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The contemporary church is so often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. It is so often the arch supporter of the status quo.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Slaves do not always welcome their deliverers. They become accustomed to being slaves. They would rather gear those ills they have
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Man is not made for the state the state is made for man. To deprive man of freedom is to relegate him to the status of a thing, rather than elevate him to the status of a person. Man must never be treated as a means to the end of the state, but always as an end within himself.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We have no alternative but to protest. For many years we have shown an amazing patience... But we come here tonight to be saved from that patience that makes us patient with anything less than freedom and justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I am what I am because of who we all are.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I cannot forget that the Nobel Prize for Peace was also a commission - a commission to work harder than I had ever worked before for the brotherhood of man.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Within the best of us, there is some evil, and within the worst of us, there is some good. When we come to see this, we take a different attitude toward individuals.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If humanity is to progress, Gandhi is inescapable.
