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
Silence is the garden of thought
In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule
If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?
Therefore, it is necessary to be a fox to discover the snares and a lion to terrify the wolves
When your soul is bored you must work.
By means of knowledge we raise ourselves above everybody else
