You know, my friends, there comes a time when people get tired of being trampled over by the iron feet of oppression.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Three hundred years of humiliation, abuse and deprivation cannot be expected to find voice in a whisper.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Every person must stand up and be accountable, but be responsible for their actions.
Martin Luther King, Jr.I am convinced that love is the most durable power in the world. It is not an expression of impractical idealism, but of practical realism. Far from being the pious injunction of a Utopian dreamer, love is an absolute necessity for the survival of our civilization. To return hate for hate does nothing but intensify the existence of evil in the universe. Someone must have sense enough and religion enough to cut off the chain of hate and evil, and this can only be done through love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
