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
Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance
Art is never finished, only abandoned
Never whisper in company
I'm not always annoying, sometimes I sleep too
It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken
