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
His part is mercy, ours is endless praise
Suffering is a gift. In it is hidden mercy
Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm
No one can construct for you the bridge upon which precisely you must cross the stream of life, no one but you yourself alone
If you want to control other people, first control yourself
I believe innovation is the most powerful force for change in the world
