Martin Luther King, Jr.God made the world from nothing, and if we can be nothing, then God can make something of us.
Martin Luther King, Jr.I decide on the basis of conscience. A genuine leader doesn't reflect consensus, he molds consensus.
Martin Luther King, Jr.The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. It destroys communities and makes humanity impossible. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers... In winning our freedom, we will so appeal to you heart and conscience that we will win you in the process.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
