“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Bitterness has not the capacity to make the distinction between some and all. When some members of the dominant group, particularly those in power, are racist in attitude and practice, bitterness accuses the whole group.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Pada akhirnya bukan kata-kata menyakitkan dari musuh yang selalu kita ingat, tapi diamnya para sahabat yang dulu mendukung kita. ”

Martin Luther King Jr

Martin Luther King Jr

'' A man who have not discovered something he will die for, is not fit to live.” 

Martin Luther King Jr

“I suggested then that the prize was not given merely as recognition of past achievement, but also as recognition, a more profound recognition, that the nonviolent way, the American Negro's way, was the answer to the crucial political and moral question of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to violence and oppression.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that ' an unjust law is no law at all.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“I am what I am because of who we all are.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“History may be a nightmare—an endless cycle of violence and oppression. Old victims of domination soon became new perpetrators of domination. We have seen this cycle over and over again: American revolutionaries dominating Indigenous peoples and defending slavery, anti-colonial heroes becoming dictators, anti-racists supporting patriarchy and homophobia, liberals crusading for imperial invasion and occupation. Such a nightmare radically calls into question the power of radical love in human history. For King, if we accept such a nightmare, then only self-destruction awaits us. To dream is to hold death at arm’s length. To love is to really be alive in history. Without radical love, nihilism triumphs—“power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“It may well be that we will have to repent in this generation. Not merely for the vitriolic words and the violent actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence and indifference of the good people who sit around and say, "Wait on time.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”
