More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Cowardice is submissive surrender to circumstances.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must move forward in the days ahead with audacious faith. The moral arc of the universe is long but it bends toward justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The law of An eye for an eye will eventually leave everyone blind.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
For years now I have heard the word wait. It rings in the ear of every Negro with a piercing familiarity. This wait has almost always meant never.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If I were constantly worried about death, I couldn't function. After a while, if your life is more or less constantly in peril, you come to a point where you accept the possibility philosophically.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must develop a federal program of public works, retraining, and jobs for all - so that none, white or black, will have cause to feel threatened . . . There is nothing except shortsightedness to prevent us from guaranteeing an annual minimum and livable income for every American family.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The church must be reminded that it is not the master, or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must work passionately and unrelentingly for the goal of freedom, but we must be sure that our hands are clean in the struggle. We must never struggle with falsehood, hate, or malice. We must never become bitter.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
No one is free until we are all free.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The self cannot be self without other selves.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If I hit you and you hit me and I hit you back and you hit me back and go on, you see, that goes on ad infinitum. It just never ends. Somewhere somebody must have a little sense, and that's the strong person.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Like anybody, I would like to have a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
History has thrust something upon me from which I cannot turn away.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you have not discovered something you are willing to die for, then you are not fit to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I may be crucified for my beliefs and, if I am, you can say, He died to make men free.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is within human nature an amazing potential for goodness.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I became convinced that noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
