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.
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.
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. |

Those are so powerful and true, yet humans still will not listen to the meaning of the words spoken, and understand the hurt racism and hate cause everyone
