We are wasting and degrading human life by clinging to archaic thinking.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Love is understanding, redemptive goodwill for all men, so that you love everybody.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Never could I advocate nonviolence in this country and not advocate nonviolence for the whole world.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
