Martin Luther King Jr.

There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life, devoid of breadth.

Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.

Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man.

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important.

There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.

War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow.
