More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
When we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city...
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nothing pains some people more than having to think
Martin Luther King, Jr.
He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Are you able to accept blows without retaliating? and Are you able to endure the ordeals of jail?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have decided to love. If you are seeking the highest good, I think you can find it through love. And the beautiful thing is that we are moving against wrong when we do it, because John was right, God is love. He who hates does not know God, but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It's very easy for one talking about violence and hatred for the white man to appeal to [Negro from ghetto]. I have never thought of this, but I think this is quite true, that if, even if you talk to them about nonviolence from a tactical point of view, they can't quite see it because they don't even know they're outnumbered.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Sooner or later, all the peoples of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace, and thereby transform this pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must work passionately and unrelentingly for the goal of freedom, but we must be sure that our hands are clean in the struggle. We must never struggle with falsehood, hate, or malice. We must never become bitter.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have a dream! To be free at last! Free at last! Free at last. And if a man has nothing to die for, Then his life is worth nothing.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is no deficit in human resources the deficit is in human will.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Your truth will increase as you know listen to the truth of others
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Find a voice in a whisper.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Many men cry Peace! Peace! but they refuse to do the things that make for peace.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The government can't make people love me, but it can keep them from lynching me.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We had no alternative except that of preparing for direct action, whereby we would present our very bodies as a means of laying our case before the conscience of the local and national community.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular hometown.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Is is always time to do the right thing.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We will not build a peaceful world by following a negative path. It is not enough to say we will not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it. We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war, but on the positive affirmation of peace
Martin Luther King, Jr.
