Martin Luther King

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

It is always the right time to do the right thing.

May I stress the need for courageous, intelligent, and dedicated leadership... Leaders of sound integrity. Leaders not in love with publicity, but in love with justice. Leaders not in love with money, but in love with humanity. Leaders who can subject their particular egos to the greatness of the cause.

You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

Everyone has the power for greatness, not for fame but greatness, because greatness is determined by service.

The SILENCE of the good people is more DANGEROUS than the BRUTALITY of the bad people

Use me, God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what I can do, and use it for a purpose greater than myself.

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

The surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.

Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.

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.

The richer we have become materially, the poorer we become morally and spiritually. We have learned to fly in the air like birds and swim in the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers.

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?’

If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.

The difference between a dreamer and a visionary is that a dreamer has his eyes closed and a visionary has his eyes open

Be The Peace You Wish To See In The World!

No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity

Peace is not simply the absence of conflict, but the existence of justice for all people.
