We are not makers of history, We are made by history
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
Lightning makes no sound until it strike
Don't let yesterday take up too much of today
Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning game
What is fatted to happen will happen
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it
Achieve your goals in silence
A good friend will always stab you in the front
