Friends are forever Boys are whatever.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If America's soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read Vietnam. It can never be saved so long as it destroys the hopes of men the world over.

I always had a deep affection for Malcolm and felt that he had a great ability to put his finger on the existence and the root of the problem. He was an eloquent spokesman for his point of view and no one can honestly doubt that Malcolm had a great concern for the problems we face as a race.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is something wrong with our world, something fundamentally and basically wrong.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Commit yourself to the noble struggle for human rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country and a finer world to live in.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In order to love your enemies, you must begin by analyzing self.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
People are often led to causes and often become committed to great ideas through persons who personify those ideas. They have to find the embodiment of the idea in flesh and blood in order to commit themselves to it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
With the tough mind, there must also be a tender heart.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Moral principles have lost their distinctiveness. For modern man, absolute right and absolute wrong are a matter of what the majority is doing.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I became convinced that noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good. No other person has been more eloquent and passionate in getting this idea across than Henry David Thoreau. As a result of his writings and personal witness, we are the heirs of a legacy of creative protest.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The negro cannot win the respect of the white people of the south or the peoples of the world if he is willing to sell the future of his children for his personal and immediate comfort and safety.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think there can be a collective leadership. Maybe some symbolize the struggle [for human's rights] a little more than others, but I think it's absolutely necessary for the leadership to be united in order to make the revolution effective.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Great people aren't those who are happy at times of convienience and content, but of how they are in times of catastrophy and controversy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
