Lightning makes no sound until it strike
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
Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness
We are not makers of history, We are made by history
There are no facts, only interpretations
Difficulties mastered are opportunities won
Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it
Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead
To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart
No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness
