More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is nothing more dangerous than to build a society with a large segment of people in that society who feel that they have no stake in it who feel that that have nothing to lose. People who have stake in their society, protect that society, but when they don't have it, they unconsciously want to destroy it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
As the weeks and months unfolded, we realized that we were the victims of a broken promise.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It's just as evil to kill Vietnamese as it is to kill Americans.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Don't let anybody take your manhood.

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.
True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love is a usually force able of transforming an rivalry into friend.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Another reason why we must love our enemies is that hate scars the soul and distorts the personality.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our present policies... True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. A true revolution of values will soon look on uneasily upon the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth with righteous indignation.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must move forward in the days ahead with audacious faith. The moral arc of the universe is long but it bends toward justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
What are you doing for others?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the struggle for equal rights.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every word and deed must contribute to an understanding with the enemy and release those vast reservoirs of goodwill which have been blocked by impenetrable walls of hate.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I admire the good samaritan, but I don't want to be one.I don't want to spend my life picking up people by the side of the road after they have been beaten up and robbed.I want to change the Jericho road, so that everybody has an opportunity for a job, education, security, health.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Science investigates, religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power, religion gives man wisdom which is control. Science deals mainly with facts, religion deals with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hate destroys the hater.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
One day we shall win freedom, but not only for ourselves. We shall so appeal to your heart and conscience that we shall win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
