More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Forgiveness is not an occasional act. It is a permanent attitude. That which I was not but could have been. That which I would have done but did not do. Can I find the fortitude to remember in truth,to understand, to submit, to forgive and to be free to move on in time?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nonviolence is the most potent technique for oppressed people. Unearned suffering is redemptive.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear. That old law about an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind... The time is always right to do the right thing. Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Violence often brings about momentary results.
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 supreme task is to organize and unite people so that their anger becomes a transforming force.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
When I took up the cross I recognized it's meaning. The cross is something that you bear, and ultimately, that you die on.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We as Christians have a mandate to be nonconformists.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Make your way to death row and speak with the tragic victims of criminality. As they prepare to make their pathetic walk to the electric chair, their hopeless cry is that society will not forgive. Capital punishment is society's final assertion that it will not forgive.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every man is somebody because he is a child of God.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
You cannot defect form an insight. You cannot unsee what you have seen.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is no gain without struggle.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I plan to stand by nonviolence, because I have found it to be a philosophy of life that regulates not only my dealings in the struggle for racial justice, but also my dealings with people, and with my own self.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Don't allow anybody to make you feel that you're nobody.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
