Martin Luther King Jr Day Quotes

In honor of Today being Martin Luther King Jr Day I have compiled a list of quotes that he will forever be remembered for:

1. 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.

2. Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.

3. Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

4. Life's most persistent and urgent question is, "what are you doing for others?"

5. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

6. I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

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

8. We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

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

10. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

11. We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

12. 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.

13. Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

14. Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.

15. A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

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

17. Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

18. We may have all came on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.

19. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missles and misguided men.

20. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.

21. Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.
