We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Be the best of whatever you are.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Let us be practical and ask the question: How do we love our enemies?
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
The surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Education must enable a man to become more efficient, to achieve with increasing facility the legitimate goals of his life.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hate destroys the very structure of the personality of the hater. [...] when you start hating anybody, it destroys the very center of your creative response to life and the universe so love everybody.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Vanity asks, is it popular? Politics ask, will it work? But conscience and morality ask, is it right?
