More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The true neighbor will risk his position, his prestige, and even his life for the welfare of others.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Injustice and corruption will never be transformed by keeping them hidden, but only by bringing them out into the light and confronting them with the power of love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The problem of racism, the problem of economic exploitation, and the problem of war are all tied together. These are the triple evils that are interrelated.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There comes a time when a moral man can't obey a law which his conscience tells him is unjust.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We can dream of an America, and a world, in which love and not money are civilization's bottom line.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A good many observers have remarked that if equality could come at once, the Negro would not be ready for it. I submit that the white American is even more unprepared.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that a system that produces beggars needs to be repaved. We are called to be the Good Samaritan, but after you lift so many people out of the ditch you start to ask, maybe the whole road to Jericho needs to be repaved.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We will not build a peaceful world by following a negative path. It is not enough to say we will not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it. We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war, but on the positive affirmation of peace
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.
The idea of a superior or inferior race is a myth that has been completely refuted by anthropological evidence.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I am convinced that love is the most durable power in the world. It is not an expression of impractical idealism, but of practical realism.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Something should remind us once more that the great things in this universe are things that we never see.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Whatever my doubts, however heavy the burden, I feel that I must accept the task of helping to make this nation and this world a better place to live in - for all men, black and white alike.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Don't allow anybody to make you feel that you're nobody.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is such a thing as the freedom of exhaustion. Some people are so worn down by the yoke of oppression that they give up. [...] The oppressed must never allow the conscience of the oppressor to slumber. [...] To accept injustice or segregation passively is to say to the oppressor that his actions are morally right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Babies, we are told, are the latest news from heaven.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Violence often brings about momentary results.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.
