More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Racial segregation must be seen for what it is, and that is an evil system, a new form of slavery covered up with certain niceties of complexity.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Evil must be attacked by. . . the day to day assault of the battering rams of justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Unconditional love will have the final word in reality.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I just want to leave a committed life behind.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
My friends, all I'm trying to say is that if we are to go forward today, we've got to go back and rediscover some mighty precious values that we've left behind. That's the only way that we would be able to make of our world a better world, and to make of this world what God wants it to be and the real purpose and meaning of it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The United States is the largest exporter of violence in the world
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must all learn to live together as brothers. Or we will all perish together as foolsFor some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Why should there be hunger and deprivation in any land, in any city, at any table, when man has the resources and the scientific know-how to provide all mankind with the basic necessities of life? There is no deficit in human resources. The deficit is in human will.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Courage faces fear and thereby masters it. Cowardice represses fear and is thereby mastered by it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our children need our presence, not our presents.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The end of violence or the aftermath of violence is bitterness. The aftermath of nonviolence is reconciliation and the creation of a beloved community. A boycott is never an end within itself. It is merely a means to awaken a sense of shame within the oppressor but the end is reconciliation, the end is redemption.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law.
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.
Our age is one of guided missiles and unguided men.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must substitute courage for caution.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Through violence, you may murder the hater, but you do not murder the hate.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Wherever schools can be integrated through the busing method, and where it won't be just a, a terrible inconvenience, I think it ought to be done.
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.
