When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love. Where evil would seek to perpetuate an unjust status quo, good must seek to bring into being a real order of justice.

[Martin Luther King @DrMLKJrWisdom]

A social movement that only moves people is merely a revolt. A movement that changes both people and institutions is a revolution.

You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.

[Martin Luther King @DrMLKJrWisdom]

Hatred and bitterness can never cure the disease of fear; only love can do that. Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confused life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

[Martin Luther King @DrMLKJrWisdom]

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 @DrMLKJrWisdom]

The greatest sin of our time is not the few who have destroyed, but the vast majority who sat idly by.

Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.

Evil is not driven out, but crowded out.... Through the expulsive power of something good.

[Martin Luther King @DrMLKJrWisdom]

Hatred paralyzes life;
Love releases it.
Hatred confuses life;
Love harmonizes it.
Hatred darkens life;
Love illuminates it.

Keep feeling the need to be first. But I want you to be first in love, moral excellence, and generosity.

[Martin Luther King @DrMLKJrWisdom]

Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.

[Martin Luther King @DrMLKJrWisdom]

Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder the hate. In fact, violence merely increases the hate.

[Martin Luther King @DrMLKJrWisdom]

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
