There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life, devoid of breadth
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
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
Lightning makes no sound until it strike
We are not makers of history, We are made by history
Work is the thing upon which everything else in this world depends
Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm
Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools
Forgiveness is commendable, but apply not ointment to the wound of an oppressor
You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him
Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice
