It's not burn baby burn, but learn, baby, learn, so that you can earn, baby, earn.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Lightning makes no sound until it strikes.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If I knew that the world ends tomorrow, I, even today, plant a tree
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Even though I have never had an abrupt conversion experience, religion has been real to me and closely knitted to life. In fact the two cannot be separated religion for me is life.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The self cannot be self without other selves.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
All life is interrelated. The agony of the poor impoverishes the rich the betterment of the poor enriches the rich. We are inevitably our brother's keeper because we are our brother's brother. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.
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.
The Negro needs the white man to free him from his fears. The white man needs the Negro to free him from his guilt.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Why is the church always a taillight rather than a headlight?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In our society it is murder, psychologically, to deprive a man of a job or an income. You are in substance saying to that man that he has no right to exist. You are in a real way depriving him of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, denying in his case the very creed of his society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There's something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I hate it when people quote me on the internet, claiming I said things that I never actually said.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jesus Christ was an extremist for love, truth and goodness.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Freedom has always been an expensive thing. History is fit testimony to the fact that freedom is rarely gained without sacrifice and self-denial.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jazz speaks for life. The Blues tell the story of life's difficulties, and if you think for a moment, you will realize that they take the hardest realities of life and put them into music, only to come out with some new hope or sense of triumph.
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.
Jazz speaks for life. The Blues tell the story of life's difficulties.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
For you all think God is one who rewards good and punishes evil, but I say to you that God is one who loves you and has compassion for everyone. You just have to pray to Him and believe in Him. He will always be your guiding light.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jesus is not an impractical idealist he is the practical realist.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
