Martin Luther King, Jr.
When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact...that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological abundance We've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven't learned to walk the Earth as brothers and sisters.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Never before have I written so long a letter. I'm afraid it is much too long to take your precious time. I can assure you that it would have been much shorter if I had been writing from a comfortable desk, but what else can one do when he is alone in a narrow jail cell, other than write long letters, think long thoughts, and pray long prayers?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is cheerful to God when you rejoice or laugh from the bottom of your heart.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is some good in the worst of us, and some evil in the best of us.

One of the great tragedies of life is that men seldom bridge the gulf between practice and profession, between doing and saying.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We should never forget that everything Adolph Hitler did in Germany was legal and everything the Hungarian freedom fighers did in Hungary was illegal. It was illegal to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Don't allow anybody to make you feel that you're nobody.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
History has thrust something upon me from which I cannot turn away.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
As marvelous as the stars is the mind of the person who studies them.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We are called upon to help the discouraged beggars in life's marketplace. But one day we must come to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I’ve been to the Mountaintop
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
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.
Even if they try to kill you, you develop the inner conviction that there are some things so precious, some things so eternally true that they are worth dying for. And if a person has not found something to die for, that person isn't fit to live!
Martin Luther King, Jr.
