Everyone has the power for greatness, not for fame but greatness, because greatness is determined by service.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our age is one of guided missiles and unguided men.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love is creative, understanding goodwill for all men. It is the refusal to defeat any individual. When you rise to the level of love, of its great beauty and power, you seek only to defeat evil systems. Individuals who happen to be caught up in that system, you love, but you seek to defeat the system.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love even for enemies is the key to the solution of the problems of our world.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Through nonviolent resistance the Negro will be able to rise to the noble height of opposing the unjust system while loving the perpetrators of the system.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Injustice and corruption will never be transformed by keeping them hidden, but only by bringing them out into the light and confronting them with the power of love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The time is always right to do what is right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Negro leaders sought to negotiate with the city fathers. But the political leaders consistently refused to engage in good-faith negotiation.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Lord help me to see M. L. King as M. L. King in his true perspective.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Violence often brings about momentary results.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We have waited for more than three hundred and forty years for our constitutional and God-given 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.
It all boils down to the fact that we must never allow ourselves to become satisfied with unattained goals. We must always maintain a kind of divine discontent.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
