Martin Luther King Jr.

We must learn that to expect God to do everything while we do nothing is not faith but superstition.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We must pursue peaceful end through peaceful means.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We must see that peace represents a sweeter music, a cosmic melody, that is far superior to the discords of war.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We must work passionately and unrelentingly for the goal of freedom, but we must be sure that our hands are clean in the struggle. We must never struggle with falsehood, hate, or malice. We must never become bitter.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We stand in life at midnight; we are always at the threshold of a new dawn.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We were all involved in the death of John Kennedy. We tolerated hate; we tolerated the sick stimulation of violence in all walks of life; and we tolerated the differential application of law, which said that a man’s life was sacred only if we agreed with his views.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We were not unmindful of the difficulties involved. So we decided to go through a process of self-purification.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.
