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 lovely face is the solace of wounded hearts and the key of locked-up gates
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving
The heart of man is made to reconcile the most glaring contradictions
Never trouble another with what you can do yourself
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak
Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats
