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
It is not enough to win a war; it is more important to organize peace
One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors
I would rather be a man of paradoxes than a man of prejudices
We are all like the bright moon, we still have our darker side
Don’t talk about your good health in front of sick
I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light
