More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is a cruel injustice to tell a bootless man to pull himself up by his bootstraps.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover these precious values - that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Be true to what you said on paper.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our present policies... True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. A true revolution of values will soon look on uneasily upon the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth with righteous indignation.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nothing degrades a man do more than the allowed stoop so low as to hate someone
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A productive and happy life is not something you find it is something you make.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The difference between a dreamer and a visionary is that a dreamer has his eyes closed and a visionary has his eyes open
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The curse of poverty has no justification in our age.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Let us say boldly, that if the total slum violations of law by the white man over the years were calculated and compared with the lawbreaking of a few days of riots, the hardened criminal would be the white man.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is a sad fact that because of comfort, complacency, a morbid fear of communism, and our proneness to adjust to injustice, the Western nations that initiated so much of the revolutionary spirit of the modern world have now become the arch-antirevolutionaries.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
To ignore evil is to become an accomplice to it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
For years now I have heard the word wait. It rings in the ear of every Negro with a piercing familiarity. This wait has almost always meant never.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Returning hate, adding deeper darkness to a night that is already void of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism... We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Peace is not merely the absence of war but the presence of justice, of law, of order —in short, of government.
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.
Be the best of whatever you are.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Something should remind us once more that the great things in this universe are things that we never see.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
