Martin Luther King, Jr.
The time is always right to do what is right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Let us say boldly, that if the total slum violations of law by the white man over the years were calculated and compared with the lawbreaking of a few days of riots, the hardened criminal would be the white man.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Let us be practical and ask the question: How do we love our enemies?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
No one is free until we are all free.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man can't ride your back unless it's bent.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Courage faces fear and thereby masters it
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It's just as evil to kill Vietnamese as it is to kill Americans.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
America, you must be born again!
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Unity has never meant uniformity.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think that we've got to come to see this. The Negro is an American.
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.
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 refuse to accept the idea that the “isness” of man's present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal “oughtness” that forever confronts him.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right.
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 marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I'm thinking of love in action and not something where you say, Love your enemies, and just leave it at that, but you love your enemies to the point that you're willing to sit-in at a lunch counter in order to help them find themselves. You're willing to go to jail.
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.
