More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
True sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one's soul.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Science investigates, religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power, religion gives man wisdom which is control. Science deals mainly with facts, religion deals with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The end of violence or the aftermath of violence is bitterness. The aftermath of nonviolence is reconciliation and the creation of a beloved community. A boycott is never an end within itself. It is merely a means to awaken a sense of shame within the oppressor but the end is reconciliation, the end is redemption.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Evil must be attacked by. . . the day to day assault of the battering rams of justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Be The Peace You Wish To See In The World!

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism... We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In spite of the fact that the law of revenge solves no social problems, men continue to follow its disastrous leading. History is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
For years, I labored with the idea of reforming the existing institutions in the South, a little change here, a little change there. Now I feel quite differently. I think you've got to have a reconstruction of the entire system, a revolution of values.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Moral principles have lost their distinctiveness. For modern man, absolute right and absolute wrong are a matter of what the majority is doing.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
You only need a heart full of grace
Martin Luther King, Jr.
What affects one in a major way, affects all in a minor way.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We as Christians have a mandate to be nonconformists.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I’ve been to the Mountaintop
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The failures of the past must not be an excuse for the inaction of the present and the future.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our generation will not have regretted both perverse crimes, and the eerie silence of the kind
Martin Luther King, Jr.
