Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
These are some of my favorite quotes from him:
“Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.”
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.”
“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”
“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right.”
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
“Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a constant attitude.”
“A riot is the language of the unheard.”
“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”
“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”
