You know, my friends, there comes a time when people get tired of being trampled over by the iron feet of oppression.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them, and they can't stand it too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they'll hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. That's love, you see. It is redemptive.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Be concerned about your brother...eithe r we go up together, or we go down together.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.
