More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
To deny a man a job is to say that a man has no right to exist.
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.
Nothing degrades a man do more than the allowed stoop so low as to hate someone
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you've got nothing worth dying for, you've got nothing worth living for.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think the inconveniences of a segregated education are much greater than the inconveniences of busing students so that they can get an integrated quality education.
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.
I became convinced that noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good. No other person has been more eloquent and passionate in getting this idea across than Henry David Thoreau. As a result of his writings and personal witness, we are the heirs of a legacy of creative protest.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Many white Americans of good will have never connected bigotry with economic exploitation. They have deplored prejudice but tolerated or ignored economic injustice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Are you able to accept blows without retaliating? and Are you able to endure the ordeals of jail?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Capital punishment is against the best judgment of modern criminology and, above all, against the highest expression of love in the nature of God.
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.
We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A right delayed is a right denied.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the final analysis, means and ends must cohere because the end is preexistent in the means, and, ultimately, destructive means cannot bring about constructive ends.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
One who condones evils is just as guilty as the one who perpetrates it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A piece of freedom is no longer enough for human beings...unlike bread, a slice of liberty does not finish hunger. Freedom is like life. It cannot be had in installments. Freedom is indivisible--we have it all, or we are not free.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A strong man must be militant as well as moderate. He must be a realist as well as an idealist.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
