Martin Luther King Jr

“You may well ask: “Why direct action? Why sit-ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?” You are quite right in calling for negotiation.

Martin Luther King Jr

“A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right.”

“Love is creative and redemptive. Love builds up and unites; hate tears down and destroys. The aftermath of the ‘fight with fire’ method which you suggest is bitterness and chaos, the aftermath of the love method is reconciliation and creation of the beloved community. Physical force can repress, restrain, coerce, destroy, but it cannot create and organize anything permanent; only love can do that. Yes, love—which means understanding, creative, redemptive goodwill, even for one’s enemies—is the solution to the race problem.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“I have a dream that my four little children will not be judged by the color of the skin. I have a dream today that we will overcome someday.”

Martin Luther King Jr

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

Martin Luther King Jr

“I am convinced that even violent temperaments can be channeled through nonviolent discipline, if they can act constructively and express through an effective channel their very legitimate anger.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Courage faces fear and thereby masters it”
