Martin Luther King, Jr.I said to my children, 'I'm going to work and do everything that I can do to see that you get a good education. I don't ever want you to forget that there are millions of God's children who will not and cannot get a good education, and I don't want you feeling that you are better than they are. For you will never be what you ought to be until they are what they ought to be.
Martin Luther King, Jr.We must have the faith that things will work out somehow, that God will make a way for us when there seems no way.
Martin Luther King, Jr.A time comes when silence is betrayal.
