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
Lightning makes no sound until it strike
We are not makers of history, We are made by history
Courage is grace under pressure
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree
If the object of poetry is, to make men, then poetry is the heir of prophecy
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony
You will have to make up for the smallness of your size by your courage and selfless devotion to duty, for it is not life that matters, but the courage, fortitude and determination you bring to it
It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen.
