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

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
Appear as you may wish to be

Wonder is the beginning of wisdom
To side with the oppressor is oppression on the oppressed
When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everyone will respect you
