Martin Luther King, Jr.
We did not hesitate to call our movement an army. But it was a special army, with no supplies but its sincerity, no uniform but its determination, no arsenal except its faith, no currency but its conscience.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I choose to give my life for those who have been left out of the sunlight of opportunity
Martin Luther King, Jr.
What good is having the right to sit at a lunch counter if you can't afford to buy a hamburger?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We all can't be famous but we can all be great and we become great when we serve others
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is no deficit in human resources the deficit is in human will.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A good many observers have remarked that if equality could come at once, the Negro would not be ready for it. I submit that the white American is even more unprepared.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The law of An eye for an eye will eventually leave everyone blind.
