One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. ~Martin Luther King Jr


Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness


That old law about ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing. 


I came to the conclusion that there is an existential moment in your life when you must decide to speak for yourself; nobody else can speak for you


There is nothing more majestic than the determined courage of individuals willing to suffer and sacrifice for their freedom and dignity


Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. 


The true measure of a man is not how he behaves in moments of comfort and convenience but how he stands at times of controversy and challenges

Quotes by Martin Luther King Jr

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
