More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The problem with hatred and violence is that they intensity the fears of the white majority, and leave them less ashamed of their prejudices toward Negroes.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I just want to leave a committed life behind.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.
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.
Vanity asks, is it popular? Politics ask, will it work? But conscience and morality ask, is it right?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Even if they try to kill you, you develop the inner conviction that there are some things so precious, some things so eternally true that they are worth dying for. And if a person has not found something to die for, that person isn't fit to live!
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Please be peaceful. We believe in law and order. We are not advocating violence, I want you to love your enemies... for what we are doing is right, what we are doing is just -- and God is with us.
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.
Science deals mainly with facts religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.
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.
A man who has nothing he is willing to die for has nothing worth living for
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I’ve been to the Mountaintop
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Man was born into barbarism when killing his fellow man was a normal condition of existence. He became endowed with a conscience. And he has now reached the day when violence toward another human being must become as abhorrent as eating another's flesh.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Power at its best is love implementing the demand of justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I would be the last to condemn the thousands of sincere and dedicated people outside the churches who have labored unselfishly through various humanitarian movements to cure the world of social evils, for I would rather a man be a committed humanist than an uncommitted Christian.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Don't allow anybody to make you feel that you're nobody.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today, our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
