More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular hometown.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Power is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice is love correcting everything that goes against love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We have waited for more than three hundred and forty years for our constitutional and God-given rights.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked 'insufficient funds.'
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Education without morals is like a ship without a compass, merely wandering nowhere.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Time has been used destructively by people of ill will much more than it has been used constructively by those of good will.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Just as it is the duty of all men to obey just laws, so it is the duty of all men to disobey unjust laws.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Let us be practical and ask the question: How do we love our enemies?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is a sad fact that because of comfort, complacency, a morbid fear of communism, and our proneness to adjust to injustice, the Western nations that initiated so much of the revolutionary spirit of the modern world have now become the arch-antirevolutionaries.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We still have a choice today: nonviolence coesistence or violent coannihilation.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Be true to what you said on paper.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Science investigates religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Somehow we must transform the dynamics of the world power struggle from the negative nuclear arms race which no one can win to a positive contest to harness man's creative genius for the purpose of making peace and prosperity a reality for all of the nations of the world.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A religion true to its nature must also be concerned about man's social conditions....A ny religion that professes to be concerned with the souls of men and is not concerned with the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them, and the social conditions that cripple them is a dry-as-dust religion.
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.
