Love is the only force capable of
transforming an enemy into friend.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Faith , Whole , Step
Faith is taking the first step even when you
don't see the whole staircase.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Forgiveness , Love, Hate
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only
light can do that. Hate cannot drive out
hate; only love can do that.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hope , Lose, Accept
We must accept finite disappointment, but
never lose infinite hope.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Times , Challenge , Moments
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.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Equality , Children, Character
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.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Peace , Love , War
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.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Forgiveness , Love, Good
We must develop and maintain the capacity
to forgive. He who is devoid of the power
to forgive is devoid of the power to love.
There is some good in the worst of us and
some evil in the best of us. When we
discover this, we are less prone to hate our
enemies.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Justice, Struggle, Goal
Human progress is neither automatic nor
inevitable... Every step toward the goal of
justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and
struggle; the tireless exertions and
passionate concern of dedicated
individuals.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love , Great, Hate
I have decided to stick with love. Hate is
too great a burden to bear.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Ignorance, Stupidity , Dangerous
Nothing in the world is more dangerous
than sincere ignorance and conscientious
stupidity.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Change , Work , Freedom
Change does not roll in on the wheels of
inevitability, but comes through continuous
struggle. And so we must straighten our
backs and work for our freedom. A man
can't ride you unless your back is bent.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
End, Friends, Remember
In the End, we will remember not the words
of our enemies, but the silence of our
friends.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Leadership , Leader , Genuine
A genuine leader is not a searcher for
consensus but a molder of consensus.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Justice, Injustice, Anywhere
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice
everywhere.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Education , True , Character
The function of education is to teach one
to think intensively and to think critically.
Intelligence plus character - that is the
goal of true education.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Death , Die , Fit
A man who won't die for something is not
fit to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Good, Bad, Silence
The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression
and cruelty by the bad people but the
silence over that by the good people.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Justice, Law , Social
Law and order exist for the purpose of
establishing justice and when they fail in
this purpose they become the dangerously
structured dams that block the flow of
social progress.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Learning, Together , Learn
We must learn to live together as brothers
or perish together as fools.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Work , Humanity, Excellence
All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity
and importance and should be undertaken
with painstaking excellence.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Light, Whether , Creative
Every man must decide whether he will
walk in the light of creative altruism or in
the darkness of destructive selfishness.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Character, Color , Content
I look to a day when people will not be
judged by the color of their skin, but by the
content of their character.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Science , Men , Power
Our scientific power has outrun our
spiritual power. We have guided missiles
and misguided men.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Respect , Reality , Law
An individual who breaks a law that
conscience tells him is unjust, and who
willingly accepts the penalty of
imprisonment in order to arouse the
conscience of the community over its
injustice, is in reality expressing the
highest respect for the
transforming an enemy into friend.
