More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Where evil men would seek to perpetuate an unjust status quo, good men must seek to bring into being a real order of justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is something in this universe that justifies the biblical writer in saying, You shall reap what you sow. This is a law-abiding universe. This is a moral universe. It hinges on moral foundations. If we are to make of this a better world, we've got to go back and rediscover that precious value that we've left behind.
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.
The great military leaders of the past have gone, their empires have crumbled and burned to ashes. But the empire of Jesus, built solidly and majestically on the foundation of love, is still growing.
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.
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Faith can give us courage to face the uncertainties of the future.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The church must be reminded that it is not the master, or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state.
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.
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.
The negro cannot win the respect of the white people of the south or the peoples of the world if he is willing to sell the future of his children for his personal and immediate comfort and safety.
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.
We live in a world of guided missiles and misguided men.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think a revolution can survive without single centralized leadership.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every genuine expression of love grows out of a consistent and total surrender to God.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We are faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. Procrastination is still the thief of time. Over the bleached bones and jumbled residues of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words ‘Too Late’.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If a person sweeps streets for a living, he should sweep them as Michelangelo painted, as Beethoven composed, as Shakespear wrote.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
