More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The law of An eye for an eye will eventually leave everyone blind.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must use time creatively.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Slaves do not always welcome their deliverers. They become accustomed to being slaves. They would rather gear those ills they have
Martin Luther King, Jr.
True compassion is more than throwing a coin to a beggar. It demands of our humanity that if we live in a society that produces beggars, we are morally commanded to restructure that society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It's not burn baby burn, but learn, baby, learn, so that you can earn, baby, earn.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must combine the toughness of the serpent with the softness of the dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In spite of its glowing talk about the welfare of the masses, Communism's methods and philosophy strip man of his dignity and worth, leaving him as little more than a depersonalized cog in the ever-turning wheel of the state.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
[I] know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind's problems.
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 dislocate the functioning of a city without destroying it can be more effective than a riot because it can be longer-lasting, costly to the society but not wantonly destructive, moreover, it is more difficult for Government to quell it by superior force.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Your truth will increase as you know listen to the truth of others
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have come to see more and more that one of the most decisive steps that the Negro can take is that little walk to the voting booth. That is an important step. We've got to gain the ballot, and through that gain, political power.
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.
The negro cannot win the respect of the white people of the south or the peoples of the world if he is willing to sell the future of his children for his personal and immediate comfort and safety.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
You have very little morally persuasive power with people who can feel your underlying contempt.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Within the best of us, there is some evil, and within the worst of us, there is some good. When we come to see this, we take a different attitude toward individuals.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
