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.
Martin Luther King, Jr.The failures of the past must not be an excuse for the inaction of the present and the future.
Martin Luther King, Jr.I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular hometown.
Martin Luther King, Jr."When I speak of love I am not speaking of some sentimental and weak response. I am not speaking of that force which is just emotional bosh. I am speaking of that force which all of the great religions have seen as the supreme unifying principle of life. Love is somehow the key that unlocks the door which leads to ultimate reality."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
