Martin Luther King, Jr. - Quotes
The one person that I admire the most in my lifetime is Martin Luther King Jr. Here are some of his quotes.
Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but the postive affirmation of peace.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.
Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.
Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.
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.
Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level. That's the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system. |

Well I'm Afraid Doctor King And His Views Would Sure Be Welcome But Maybe Not Accepted In Today's World... Everything Is Race Based Identity Politics Now Where The Color Of Your Skin Seems To Mean EVERYTHING
