We are not makers of history, We are made by history
American Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement.
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will
There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life, devoid of breadth
We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right
Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness
Lightning makes no sound until it strike
The present is theirs, the future, for which I really worked, is mine
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it
Rise above sectional interests and private ambitions... Pass from matter to spirit. Matter is diversity; spirit is light, life and unity
Do not trust the character of one who cannot control his temper
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light
