Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is something wrong with our world, something fundamentally and basically wrong.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A second way that oppressed people sometimes deal with oppression is to resort to physical violence and corroding hatred.
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.
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Those of us who love peace must organize as effectively as the war hawks. As they spread the propaganda of war, we must spread the propaganda of peace.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The poor in our countries have been shut out of our minds and driven from the mainstream of our societies, because we have allowed them to become invisible.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
And one day we must ask the question, Why are there forty million poor people in America? And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today, our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Brutality was imprisoned in a lumious glare revealing the naked truth to the whole world
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Now let us begin. Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter, but beautiful, struggle for a new world. This is the calling of the sons of God, and our brothers wait eagerly for our response. Shall we say the odds are too great? Shall we tell them the struggle is too hard?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We aren't engaged in any negative protest and in any negative arguments with anybody. We are saying that we are determined to be men. We are determined to be people. We are saying that we are God's children. And that we don't have to live like we are forced to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A good many observers have remarked that if equality could come at once, the Negro would not be ready for it. I submit that the white American is even more unprepared.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I’ve been to the Mountaintop
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is some good in the worst of us, and some evil in the best of us.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
When I took up the cross I recognized it's meaning. The cross is something that you bear, and ultimately, that you die on.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
This is the unusual thing about nonviolence -- nobody is defeated, everybody shares in the victory.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jazz speaks for life. The Blues tell the story of life's difficulties.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is such a thing as the freedom of exhaustion. Some people are so worn down by the yoke of oppression that they give up. [...] The oppressed must never allow the conscience of the oppressor to slumber. [...] To accept injustice or segregation passively is to say to the oppressor that his actions are morally right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
