Martin Luther King

When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love. Where evil would seek to perpetuate an unjust status quo, good must seek to bring into being a real order of justice.

A social movement that only moves people is merely a revolt. A movement that changes both people and institutions is a revolution.

would rather be a man of conviction than a man of conformity.

You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.

Hatred and bitterness can never cure the disease of fear; only love can do that. Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confused life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

Use me God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what I can do, and use it for a purpose greater than myself.

I know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind's problems.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.

Capitalism was built on the exploitation of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor, both black and white abroad.

The greatest sin of our time is not the few who have destroyed, but the vast majority who sat idly by.

Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness. #MLK

Evil is not driven out, but crowded out.... Through the expulsive power of something good.

A social movement that moves only people is merely a revolt. A movement that changes both people and institutions is a revolution.

Hatred paralyzes life; Love releases it. Hatred confuses life; Love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; Love illuminates it.

Keep feeling the need to be first. But I want you to be first in love, moral excellence, and generosity.

Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.

Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder the hate. In fact, violence merely increases the hate.

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
