We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The movement for equality and justice can only be a success if it has both a mass and militant character the barriers to be overcome require both.
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.
Alienation is a form of living death. It is the acid of despair that dissolves society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The beauty of genuine brotherhood and peace is more precious than diamonds or silver or gold.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Life's piano can only produce melodies of brotherhood (and sisterhood) when it is recognized that the black keys are as basic, necessary and beautiful as the white keys.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is a more excellent way, of love and nonviolent protest.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
