Martin Luther King, Jr.
For you all think God is one who rewards good and punishes evil, but I say to you that God is one who loves you and has compassion for everyone. You just have to pray to Him and believe in Him. He will always be your guiding light.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
What affects one in a major way, affects all in a minor way.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nothing degrades a man do more than the allowed stoop so low as to hate someone
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Three simple words can describe the nature of the social revolution that is talking place and what Negroes really want. They are the words all, now, and here.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must shift the arms race into a 'peace race'.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
To sway an audience, you must watch them as you speak.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Find a voice in a whisper.
