Text Quotes
A true revolution of values will see that the western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
I choose to give my life for those who have been left out of the sunlight of opportunity (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
Freedom only comes through persistent revolt, through persistent agitation, through persistently rising up against the system of evil (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
Love even for enemies is the key to the solution of the problems of our world (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
Worship is as natural to the human family as the sing of the sun is to the cosmic order (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
It is not possible to be in favor of justice for some people and not be in favor of justice for all people (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
You can’t reach good ends through evil means, because the means represent the seed and the end represents the tree (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
By its very nature, hate destroys and tears down; by its very nature, love creates and builds up (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
Another reason why we must love our enemies is that hate scars the soul and distorts the personality (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
Whenever you are engaged in work that serves humanity and is for the building of humanity, it has dignity and it has worth (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
It all boils down to the fact that we must never allow ourselves to become satisfied with unattained goals. We must always maintain a kind of divine discontent (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
When I am commanded to love, I am commanded to restore community, to resist injustice, and to meet the needs of my brothers (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
Injustice and corruption will never be transformed by keeping them hidden, but only by bringing them out into the light and confronting them with the power of love (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
We stand in life at midnight; we are always at the threshold of a new dawn (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists, who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood. The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been nonconformists. In any cause that concerns the progress of mankind, put your faith in the nonconformist! (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
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. Science keeps religion from singing into the valley of crippling irrationalism and paralyzingly obscurantism. Religion prevents science from falling into the marsh of obsolete materialism and moral nihilism (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis, but it must be followed by a sense of futility (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man’s sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
As a teenager I had never been able to accept the fact of having to go to the back of a bus or sit in the segregated section of a train. The first time I had been seated behind a curtain in a dining car, I felt as if the curtain had been dropped on my selfhood (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
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 Quotes)
There is nothing more dangerous than to build a society with a large segment of people in that society who feel that they have no stake in it; who feel that that have nothing to lose. People who have stake in their society, protect that society, but when they don’t have it, they unconsciously want to destroy it (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
There’s another reason why you should love your enemies, and that is because hate distorts the personality of the hater. We usually think of what hate does for the individual hated or the individuals hated or the groups hated. But it is even more tragic, it is even more ruinous and injurious to the individual who hates... For the person who hates, the true becomes false and the false becomes true. That’s what hate does (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
On some positions, cowardice asks the question, is it expedient? And then expedience comes along and asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? Conscience asks the question, is it right? There comes a time when one must take the position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must do it because conscience tells him it is right (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
The thing that we need in the world today is a group of men and women who will stand up for right and to be opposed to wrong, wherever it is. A group of people who have come to see that some things are wrong, whether they’re never caught up with. And some things are right, whether nobody sees you doing them or not (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter. I won’t have any money to leave behind. I won’t have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just want to leave a committed life behind. And that’s all I want to say (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals (Martin Luther King Jr Quotes)
