Words from MLK

"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

"We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the size of our automobile rather than by the quality of our service and relationship to mankind:"


"When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative."

"We are not makers of history. We are made by history."

"But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred."


"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."


"Success, recognition, and conformity are the bywords of the modern world where everyone seems to crave the anesthetizing security of being identified with the majority."

"If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live."
