Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes.

Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’
Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.
I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
A right delayed is a right denied.
Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.
The time is always right to do what is right.
I want to be the white man’s brother, not his brother-in-law.
If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values – that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control.

We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. Indeed, it is a weapon unique in history, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it.
At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.
Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.
