What good is having the right to sit at a lunch counter if you can't afford to buy a hamburger?
Martin Luther King, Jr.If you canโt run, walk; if you canโt walk, crawl, but keep moving forward!
Martin Luther King, Jr.I would be misleading you if I made you feel that we could win a violent campaign. It's impractical even to think about it. The minute we start, we will end up getting many more people killed unnecessarily. Now, I'm ready to die myself. Many other committed people are ready to die. If you believe in something firmly, if you believe in it truly, if you believe it in your heart, you are willing to die for it, but I'm not going to advocate a method that brings about unnecessary death.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.
