More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every nation must now develop an overriding loyalty to mankind as a whole in order to preserve the best in their individual societies.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Only in the darkness can you see the stars.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Liberalism provided me with an intellectual satisfaction that I never found in fundamentalism. I became so enamored of the insights of liberalism that I almost fell into the trap of accepting uncritically everything it encompassed.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nothing pains some people more than having to think
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The greatness of man cannot be seen in the hours of comfort and convenience, but rather in moments of conflict/adversity
Martin Luther King, Jr.
True compassion is more than throwing a coin to a beggar. It demands of our humanity that if we live in a society that produces beggars, we are morally commanded to restructure that society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I agree with Dante, that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality. There comes a time when silence becomes betrayal.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Education without direction is a one-sided social value. Direct action without education is a meaningless expression of pure energy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
As we have seen, the first public expression of disenchantment with nonviolence arose around the question of 'self-defense.' In a sense this is a false issue, for the right to defend one's home and one's person when attacked has been guaranteed through the ages by common law.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I am what I am because of who we all are.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The first principle of value that we need to rediscover is this: that all reality hinges on moral foundations. In other words, that this is a moral universe, and that there are moral laws of the universe just as abiding as the physical laws.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man does not measure its height in moments of comfort, but in terms of change and controversy
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis, but it must be followed by a sense of futility.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Your truth will increase as you know listen to the truth of others
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
But by all means, keep moving.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
