More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
What is more tragic than to see a person who has risen to the disciplined heights of tough-mindedness but has at the same time sunk to the passionless depths of hard-heartedness?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
I agree with Dante, that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality. There comes a time when silence becomes betrayal.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We were all involved in the death of John Kennedy. We tolerated hate we tolerated the sick stimulation of violence in all walks of life and we tolerated the differential application of law, which said that a man's life was sacred only if we agreed with his views.
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.
If I knew that the world ends tomorrow, I, even today, plant a tree
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It's just as evil to kill Vietnamese as it is to kill Americans.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
