Martin Luther King, Jr.
When people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Capitalism started out with a noble and high motive, but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is no deficit in human resources the deficit is in human will.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We who in engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
America, you must be born again!
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man can't ride your back unless it's bent.
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.
We must face the appalling fact that we have been betrayed by both the Democratic and Republican Parties.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
My obligation is to do the right thing. The rest is in God's hands.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
unearned suffering is redemptive.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
