Martin Luther King Jr.

We aren’t going to let any mace stop us. We are masters in our nonviolent movement in disarming police forces; they don’t know what to do.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We can dream of an America, and a world, in which love and not money are civilization’s bottom line.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We can either walk the highroad of brotherhood or the low road of man’s inhumanity to man.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We can walk through the darkest night with the radiant conviction that all things work together for the good.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We can’t slow up because of our love for democracy and our love for America. Someone should tell Faulkner that the vast majority of the people on this globe are colored.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We cannot be truly Christian people so long as we flaunt the central teachings of Jesus: brotherly love and the Golden Rule.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We decided to set our direct-action program around the Easter season, realizing that, with exception of Christmas, this was the largest shopping period of the year. Knowing that a strong economic withdrawal program would be the by-product of direct action.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We did not hesitate to call our movement an army. But it was a special army, with no supplies but its sincerity, no uniform but its determination, no arsenal except its faith, no currency but its conscience.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We had no alternative except that of preparing for direct action, whereby we would present our very bodies as a means of laying our case before the conscience of the local and national community.
