More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every crisis has both its dangers and its opportunities. Each can spell either salvation or doom.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
As we have seen, the first public expression of disenchantment with nonviolence arose around the question of 'self-defense.' In a sense this is a false issue, for the right to defend one's home and one's person when attacked has been guaranteed through the ages by common law.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
To be Negro in America is to hope against hope.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
With the tough mind, there must also be a tender heart.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is no gain without struggle.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We aren't going to let any mace stop us. We are masters in our nonviolent movement in disarming police forces they don't know what to do.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The group consisting of mother, father and child is the main educational agency of mankind.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The United States is the largest exporter of violence in the world
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jazz speaks for life. This is triumphant music.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
But now I must affirm that it is just as wrong, or perhaps even more so, to use moral means to preserve immoral ends.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The conservatives who say, Let us not move so fast, and the extremists who say, Let us go out and whip the world , would tell you that they are as far apart as the poles. But there is a striking parallel: They accomplish nothing for they do not reach the people who have a crying need to be free.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Those of us who love peace must organize as effectively as the war hawks. As they spread the propaganda of war, we must spread the propaganda of peace.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Only in the darkness can you see the stars.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
