Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness
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
A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new
The best of men is the person who is most beneficial to others.
Learn this from water: loud splashes the brook but the oceans depth are calm
I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake
But only he who, himself enlightened, is not afraid of shadows
Nothing in life is to be feared it is only to be understood
