Martin Luther King, Jr.We aren't going to let any mace stop us. We are masters in our nonviolent movement in disarming police forces; they don't know what to do.
Martin Luther King, Jr.We all have the drum major instinct. We all want to be important, to surpass others, to achieve distinction, to lead the parade.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Freedom has always been an expensive thing. History is fit testimony to the fact that freedom is rarely gained without sacrifice and self-denial.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
