I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Power at its best is love implementing the demand of justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I may not be the man I want to be I may not be the man I ought to be I may not be the man I could be I may not be the man I truly can be but praise God, I'm not the man I once was
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Everyone has the power for greatness, not for fame but greatness, because greatness is determined by service.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must substitute courage for caution.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
