martin luther king jr.

  

-An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

-Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. 

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

-Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase. 

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

-I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.  

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