More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man who hasn't found anything he'd die for doesn't deserve to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Agape is disinterested love. . . . Agape does not begin by discriminating between worthy and unworthy people, or any qualities people possess. It begins by loving others for their sakes. . . . Therefore, agape makes no distinction between friend and enemy it is directed toward both.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The true neighbor will risk his position, his prestige, and even his life for the welfare of others.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In any civilized society, it is every citizen's responsibility to obey just laws. But at the same time, it is every citizen's responsibility to disobey unjust laws.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
To be Negro in America is to hope against hope.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you haven't found something worth dying for, you're not fit to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Some things are right, whether nobody sees you doing them or not.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
One day we shall win freedom, but not only for ourselves. We shall so appeal to your heart and conscience that we shall win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lives a great street-sweeper who did his job well'
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The early Christians rejoiced when they were deemed worthy to suffer for what they believed. In those days the Church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles o popular opinion it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men. Our hope for creative living lies in our ability to reestablish the spiritual needs of our lives in personal character and social justice. Without this spiritual and moral reawakening we shall destroy ourselves in the misuse of our own instruments.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Keep feeling the need for being first. But I want you to be the first in love. I want you to be the first in moral excellence. I want you to be the first in generosity.
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.
Just as it is the duty of all men to obey just laws, so it is the duty of all men to disobey unjust laws.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
To sway an audience, you must watch them as you speak.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Science investigates, religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power, religion gives man wisdom which is control. Science deals mainly with facts, religion deals with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The contemporary church is so often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. It is so often the arch supporter of the status quo.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
