Martin Luther King Day :

Commemorating his life and legacy

 

Martin Luther King, Jr., quotes for these times we live in :

"So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created.

“We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice.not in love with publicity but in love with humanity."

 

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

“… the world is all messed up. The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around…. But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars.”

“We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience.”

"The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges."

"We cannot walk alone. And as we walk we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back."

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

"True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice."
