In Celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Martin Luther King Jr. Quotes
“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.”
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only
light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
“Faith is taking the first step even
when you can't see the whole staircase.”
“Our lives begin to end the day we
become silent about things that matter.”
“In the end, we will remember not
the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
“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.”
“I have decided to stick to
love...Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
“There comes a time when one must
take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must
take it because conscience tells him it is right.”
“Let no man pull you so low as to
hate him.”
“Only in the darkness can you see
the stars.”
“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.”
“Intelligence plus character-that is the goal
of true education.”
“Everybody can be great...because
anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't
have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full
of grace. A soul generated by love.”
“Those who are not looking for
happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching
forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.”
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice
everywhere.”
“Forgiveness is not an occasional
act, it is a constant attitude.”
“Never forget that everything Hitler
did in Germany was legal.”
“We must live together as brothers
or perish together as fools.”
“Science investigates; religion
interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man
wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals
mainly with values. The two are not rivals.”
“People fail to get along because
they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other;
they don't know each other because they have not communicated with each other.”
“Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful
tomorrows.”
