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
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop
That which does not kill us makes us stronger
Never think you're better than anyone else, but don't let anyone treat you like you're worse than they are
The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist see opportunity in every difficulty
Never confuse movement with action
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do
