Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes...







Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes


"So in everything,
do to others what you would have them do to you,
for this sums up the Law and the Prophets."
- Matthew 7:12


"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. I have a dream today!"


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


"We will have to repent in this generation not merely
for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but
for the appalling silence of the good people."


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


"All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance
and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence."


“Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.
I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you
ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.”


"We must use time creatively."


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


"We must build dikes of courage to hold back floods of fear."


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