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

Martin Luther King Jr

“So often the contemporary church is a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. So often it is an archdefender of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the church’s silent—and often even vocal—sanction of things as they are. But the judgment of God is upon the church as never before. If today’s church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century. Every day I meet young people whose disappointment with the church has turned into outright disgust.”

Martin Luther King Jr

Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

Martin Luther King Jr

Martin Luther King Jr

“A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.”

Martin Luther King Jr
