There is nothing more tragic in all the world than to know right and not to do it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Use me, God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what I can do, and use it for a purpose greater than myself.
Martin Luther King, Jr.I could never adjust to the separate waiting rooms, separate eating places, separate rest rooms, partly because the separate was always unequal, and partly because the very idea of separation did something to my sense of dignity and self-respect.
Martin Luther King, Jr.We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was โlegalโ and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was โillegal.โ It was โillegalโ to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitlerโs Germany. Even so, I am sure that, had I lived in Germany at the time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers. If todayI lived in a Communist country where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I would openly advocate disobeying that country's antireligious laws.
