More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The unemployed, poverty-stricken white man must be made to realize that he is in the very same boat with the Negro. Together, they could exert massive pressure on the government to get jobs for all. Together, they could form a grand alliance. Together, they could merge all people for the good of all.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I know that God is not going to willfully hurt us. Why there is suffering is the business of the Lord, but He never seems to give us more than we can bear.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our problem is not to be rid of fear but rather to harness and master it.
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.
The day we see the truth and cease to speak is the day we begin to die
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We all can't be famous but we can all be great and we become great when we serve others
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.
But alas! Science cannot now rescue us, for even the scientist is lost in the terrible midnight of our age. Indeed, science gave us the very instruments that threaten to bring universal suicide.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We still have a choice today: nonviolence coesistence or violent coannihilation.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The self cannot be self without other selves.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
[Malcolm X] had said a great deal about nonviolence, criticizing nonviolence, and saying that I approved of Negro men and women being bitten by dogs and the fire hoses, and I say, say go on and not defend yourself. I think this kind of response grew out of the build up, all of the talk about my being a sort of polished Uncle Tom.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Often the oppressor goes along unaware of the evil involved in his oppression so long as the oppressed accepts it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds and our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, we will know that we are living in the creative turmoil of a genuine civilization struggling to be born.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Each of us is something of a schizophrenic personality, tragically divided against ourselves.
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.
Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Man is not made for the state the state is made for man. To deprive man of freedom is to relegate him to the status of a thing, rather than elevate him to the status of a person. Man must never be treated as a means to the end of the state, but always as an end within himself.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
unearned suffering is redemptive.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Men often hate each other because they fear each other they fear each other because they don't know each other they don't know each other because they can not communicate they can not communicate because they are separated.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
