Whenever the early Christians ...

Whenever the early Christians entered a town the power structure got disturbed and immediately sought to convict them for being 'disturbers of the peace' and 'outside agitators.' But they went on with the conviction that they were 'a colony of heaven,' and had to obey God rather than man. They were small in number but big in commitment. They were too God-intoxicated to be 'astronomically intimidated.' They brought an end to such ancient evils as infanticide and gladiatorial contest.

Truth is not to be found eithe...

Truth is not to be found either in traditional capitalism or in Marxism. Each represents a partial truth. Historically, capitalism failed to discern the truth in collective enterprise and Marxism failed to see the truth in individual enterprise.

A final victory is an accumula...

A final victory is an accumulation of many short-term encounters. To lightly dismiss a success because it does not usher in a complete order of justice is to fail to comprehend the process of achieving full victory.

Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

One day the South will know that when these disinherited children of God sat down at lunch counters they were in reality standing up for the best in the American dream and the most sacred values in our Judaeo-Christian heritage, and thusly, carrying our whole nation back to those great wells of democracy which were dug deep by the founding fathers in the formulation of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

Courageous men never lose the zest for living even though their life situation is zestless; cowardly men, overwhelmed by the uncertainties of life, lose the will to live. We must constantly build dykes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.

Nothing is so much needed as a secure family life for a people seeking to rise out of poverty and backwardness.

I decide on the basis of conscience. A genuine leader doesn't reflect consensus, he molds consensus.

Money, like any other force such as electricity, is amoral and can be used for either good or evil.

The only time people do not like praise is when too much of it is going toward someone else.

Martin Luther King 1248 quotes

We will never have peace in the world until men everywhere recognize that ends are not cut off from means, because the means represent the ideal in the making, and the end in process, and ultimately you can't reach good ends through evil means, because the means represent the seed and the end represents the tree.

Martin Luther King 1248 quotes

The idea of a superior or infe...

The idea of a superior or inferior race is a myth that has been completely refuted by anthropological evidence.

Martin Luther King 1248 quotes

I'm concerned about a better w...

I'm concerned about a better world. I'm concerned about justice; I'm concerned about brotherhood; I'm concerned about truth. And when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. For through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. Through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. Darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.

It's just as evil to kill Vietnamese as it is to kill Americans.

Never could I advocate nonviolence in this country and not advocate nonviolence for the whole world.

If you haven't found something worth dying for, you're not fit to live.

Martin Luther King 1248 quotes

We can either walk the highroad of brotherhood or the low road of man's inhumanity to man.

Martin Luther King 1248 quotes

Three simple words can describe the nature of the social revolution that is talking place and what Negroes really want. They are the words 'all,' 'now,' and 'here.'

Martin Luther King 1248 quotes

Actually, we who engage in non...

Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with an its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be c

Martin Luther King 1248 quotes

The use of violence in our str...

The use of violence in our struggle would be both impractical and immoral. To meet hate with retaliatory hate would do nothing but intensify the existence of evil in the universe. Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love; we must meet physical force with soul force. Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man, but to win his friendship and understanding.
