Martin Luther King, Jr.
Man is not made for the state the state is made for man. To deprive man of freedom is to relegate him to the status of a thing, rather than elevate him to the status of a person. Man must never be treated as a means to the end of the state, but always as an end within himself.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If I knew that the world ends tomorrow, I, even today, plant a tree

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Ten thousand fools proclaim themselves into obscurity, while one wise man forgets himself into immortality.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Don't let anybody take your manhood.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is nothing more tragic in all the world than to know right and not to do it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It's not burn baby burn, but learn, baby, learn, so that you can earn, baby, earn.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It's not the violence of the few that scares me, it's the silence of the many
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is cheerful to God when you rejoice or laugh from the bottom of your heart.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must have our freedom now. We must have the right to vote. We must have equal protection of the law.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
