“Our goal is to create a beloved community and  this will require a qualitative change in our souls  as well as a quantitative change in our lives.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“We have, it seems, shut the poor out of our minds and driven them from the mainstream of our society. We have allowed the poor to become invisible, and we have become angry when they make their presence felt. But just as nonviolence has exposed the ugliness of racial injustice, we must now find ways to expose and heal the sickness of poverty—not just its symptoms, but its basic causes.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“The time is always right to do the right thing” 

Martin Luther King Jr

“Mother Dear, one day I'm going to turn this world upside down." --From My Brother Martin, by Christine King Farris”

Martin Luther King Jr

“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate...Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“May I say just a word to those of you who are struggling against this evil. Always be sure that you struggle with Christian methods and Christian weapons. Never succumb to the temptation of becoming bitter. As you press on for justice, be sure to move with dignity and discipline, using only the weapon of love. Let no man pull you so low as to hate him”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Worship at its best is a social experience with people of all levels of life coming together to realize their oneness and unity under God. Whenever the church, consciously or unconsciously caters to one class it loses the spiritual force of the "whosoever will, let him come, doctrine and is in danger of becoming a little more than a social club with a thin veneer of religiosity.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“I have a dream, that one day on the red hills of Georgia...”

Martin Luther King Jr

“The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“The Cross is the eternal expression of the length to which God will go to in order to restore broken community.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“All labor has dignity.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Lightning makes no sound until it strikes.”
