Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever. The yearning for freedom eventually manifests itself. - Martin Luther King Jr
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. - Martin Luther King Jr
Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think. - Martin Luther King Jr
Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. - Martin Luther King Jr
Ten thousand fools proclaim themselves into obscurity, while one wise man forgets himself into immortality. - Martin Luther King Jr
The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one. - Martin Luther King Jr
The God whom we worship is not a weak and incompetent God. He is able to beat back gigantic waves of opposition and to bring low prodigious mountains of evil. The ringing testimony of the Christian faith is that God is able. - Martin Luther King Jr

We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but the positive affirmation of peace. - Martin Luther King Jr
We who in engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. - Martin Luther King Jr
Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality. - Martin Luther King Jr
When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative. - Martin Luther King Jr
World peace through nonviolent means is neither absurd nor unattainable. All other methods have failed. Thus we must begin anew. Nonviolence is a good starting point. Those of us who believe in this method can be voices of reason, sanity, and understanding amid the voices of violence, hatred, and emotion. We can very well set a mood of peace out of which a system of peace can be built. - Martin Luther King Jr
You will change your mind; You will change your looks; You will change your smile, laugh, and ways but no matter what you change, you will always be you. - Martin Luther King Jr
A quality education has the power to transform societies in a single generation, provide children with the protection they need from the hazards of poverty, labor exploitation and disease, and given them the knowledge, skills, and confidence to reach their full potential. - Audrey Hepburn
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. - Audrey Hepburn
