More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Friends are forever Boys are whatever.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A strong man must be militant as well as moderate. He must be a realist as well as an idealist.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
You only need a heart full of grace
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I cannot forget that the Nobel Prize for Peace was also a commission - a commission to work harder than I had ever worked before for the brotherhood of man.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
So when Jesus says Love your enemies, he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I am what I am because of who we all are.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The existence of poverty in the US should not be accepted as a necessary evil or insoluble problem, but should be considered a crisis requiring emergency measures. It is a matter of will and priorities, not a matter of resources.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
But alas! Science cannot now rescue us, for even the scientist is lost in the terrible midnight of our age. Indeed, science gave us the very instruments that threaten to bring universal suicide.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must stand up and say, I'm black and I'm beautiful, and this self-affirmation is the black man's need, made compelling by the white man's crimes against him.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think the first reason that we should love our enemies, and I think this was at the very center of Jesus' thinking, is this: that hate for hate only intensifies the existence of hate and evil in the universe.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover these precious values - that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
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.
Without love, there is no reason to know anyone, for love will in the end connect us to our neighbors, our children and our hearts.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Lukewarm acceptance is more bewildering than outright rejection.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
My friends, all I'm trying to say is that if we are to go forward today, we've got to go back and rediscover some mighty precious values that we've left behind. That's the only way that we would be able to make of our world a better world, and to make of this world what God wants it to be and the real purpose and meaning of it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Evil must be attacked by. . . the day to day assault of the battering rams of justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is a more excellent way, of love and nonviolent protest.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
