Martin Luther King, Jr.

Is your heart right? If your heart isn't right, fix it up today.

Never, never be afraid to do what's right.

As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be free.

Don't let anybody take your manhood.

A true revolution of values will see that the western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just.

Jesus reminds us that the good life combines the toughness of the serpent and the tenderness of the dove. To have serpent-like qualities devoid of dovelike qualities is to be passionless, mean, and selfish. To have dovelike without serpent-like qualities is to be sentimental, anemic and aimless. We must combine strongly marked antitheses.

Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.

We must learn that to expect God to do everything while we do nothing is not faith but superstition.

Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

But though I was initially disappointed at being categorized as an extremist, as I continued to think about the matter I gradually gained a measure of satisfaction from the label. Was not Jesus an extremist for love: “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.”

And so we shall have to do more than register and more than vote; we shall have to create leaders who embody virtues we can respect, who have moral and ethical principles we can applaud with enthusiasm.

Each one of us has the power to make others feel better or worse. _x000D_ Making others feel better is much more fun than making others feel worse. _x000D_ Making others feel better generally makes us feel better

Peace is not simply the absence of conflict, but the existence of justice for all people.

It's not the violence of the few that scares me, it's the silence of the many

Justice too long delayed is justice denied.

Power is the ability to achieve purpose.

Faith can give us courage to face the uncertainties of the future.

The SILENCE of the good people is more DANGEROUS than the BRUTALITY of the bad people

Capital punishment is against the best judgment of modern criminology and, above all, against the highest expression of love in the nature of God.

Now let us begin. Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter - but beautiful - struggle for a new world.

And I say to you, I have decided to stick with love, for I know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind's problems. And I'm going to talk about it everywhere I go. For I have seen too _x000D_ much hate... every time I see it, I know that it does something to their faces and their personalities, and I say to myself that hate is too great a burden to bear. I have decided to love.
