“There is no noise as powerful as the sound of the marching feet of a determined people.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Justice too long delayed is justice denied.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“There is at the outset a very obvious and almost facile connection between the war in Vietnam and the struggle I, and others, have been waging in America. A few years ago there was a shining moment in that struggle. It seemed as if there was a real promise of hope for the poor -- both black and white -- through the poverty program. There were experiments, hopes, new beginnings. Then came the buildup in Vietnam and I watched the program broken and eviscerated as if it were some idle political plaything of a society gone mad on war, and I knew that America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like Vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money like some demonic destructive suction tube.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“The words 'bad timing' came to be ghosts haunting our every move in Birmingham. Yet people who used this argument were ignorant of the background of our planning...they did not realize that it was ridiculous to speak of timing when the clock of history showed that the Negro had already suffered one hundred years of delay.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.” 

Martin Luther King Jr

“The plain, inexorable fact was that any attempt of the America Negro to overthrow his oppressor with violence would not work...The courageous efforts of our own insurrectionist brothers, such as Denmark Vassey and Nat Turner, should be eternal reminders to us that a violent rebellion is doomed from the start. Anyone leading a violent rebellion must be willing to make an honest assessment regarding the possible casualties to a minority population confronting a well-armed, wealthy majority with a fanatical right wing that would delight in exterminating thousands of black men, women, and children.”

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

“Deep in our history of struggle for freedom, Canada was the North star”

Martin Luther King Jr

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“It seems to me that this is the method that must guide the actions of the Negro in the present crisis in race relations. Through nonviolent resistance the Negro will be able to rise to the noble height of opposing the unjust system while loving the perpetrators of the system. The Negro must work passionately and unrelentingly for full stature as a citizen, but he must not use inferior methods to gain it. He must never come to terms with falsehood, malice, hate, or destruction.”
