More quotes by 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.
Our lives are not fully lived if we're not willing to die for those we love, for what we believe.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Once you become dedicated to a cause, personal security is not the goal. What will happen to you personally does not matter. My cause, my race, is worth dying for.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It's not how long you live, it's how well you live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must see the great distinction between a reform movement and a revolutionary movement. We are called upon to raise certain basic questions about the whole society . . . . What America must be told today is that she must be born again. The whole structure of American life must be changed.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A man can't ride your back unless it's bent.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
One who condones evils is just as guilty as the one who perpetrates it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I came to the conclusion that there is an existential moment in your life when you must decide to speak for yourself nobody else can speak for you.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The law of An eye for an eye will eventually leave everyone blind.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love even for enemies is the key to the solution of the problems of our world.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We aren't going to let any mace stop us. We are masters in our nonviolent movement in disarming police forces they don't know what to do.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Each of us is something of a schizophrenic personality, tragically divided against ourselves.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the final analysis the weakness of Black Power is its failure to see that the black man needs the white man and the white man needs the black man.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
