Martin Luther King, Jr.
Some things are right, whether nobody sees you doing them or not.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our goal is to create a beloved community, said Dr. King, and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.
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.
Being a Negro in America means trying to smile when you want to cry. It means trying to hold on to physical life amid psychological death. It means the pain of watching your children grow up with clouds of inferiority in their mental skies. It means having their legs off, and then being condemned for being a cripple.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our problem is not to be rid of fear but rather to harness and master it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed, without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today – my own government.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Unconditional love will have the final word in reality.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Faith can give us courage to face the uncertainties of the future.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The belief that God will do everything for man is as untenable as the belief that man can do everything for himself. It, too, is based on a lack of faith. We must learn that to expect God to do everything while we do nothing is not faith but superstition.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Education must enable a man to become more efficient, to achieve with increasing facility the legitimate goals of his life.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We know of no more crucial civil rights issue facing Congress today than the need to increase the federal minimum wage and extend its coverage.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have a dream, one dream, keep dreaming. Dream of freedom, justice dreaming, dreaming of equality and hopefully no longer required to dream them
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our children need our presence, not our presents.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
When people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Find a voice in a whisper.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
All too many of those who live in affluent America ignore those who exist in poor America in doing so, the affluent Americans will eventually have to face themselves with the question that Eichman chose to ignore: How responsible am I for the well-being of my fellows?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We cannot walk alone.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
