More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Curtailment of free speech is rationalized on grounds that a more compelling American tradition forbids criticism of the government when the nation is at war... Nothing can be more destructive of our fundamental democratic traditions than the vicious effort to silence dissenters.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
He (Jesus) knew that the old eye-for-eye philosophy would leave everyone blind. He did not seek to overcome evil with evil. He overcame evil with good. Although crucified by hate, he responded with aggressive love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There comes a time when a moral man can't obey a law which his conscience tells him is unjust.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must combine the toughness of the serpent with the softness of the dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The unemployed, poverty-stricken white man must be made to realize that he is in the very same boat with the Negro. Together, they could exert massive pressure on the government to get jobs for all. Together, they could form a grand alliance. Together, they could merge all people for the good of all.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If I knew that the world ends tomorrow, I, even today, plant a tree
Martin Luther King, Jr.
What good does it do to sit at the counter when you cannot afford a hamburger?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think the inconveniences of a segregated education are much greater than the inconveniences of busing students so that they can get an integrated quality education.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The major problem of life is learning how to handle the costly interruptions.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
