Martin Luther King, Jr.
Power at its best is love implementing the demand of justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Vanity asks, is it popular? Politics ask, will it work? But conscience and morality ask, is it right?
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
We have a great dream. It started way back in 1776, and God grant that America will be true to her dream.
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.
