Martin Luther King Jr....
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate
cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically
bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of
peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth
and unconditional love will have the final word…. This is why right, temporarily
defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.”
“Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you
doing for others?'”
“Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.”
“Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon, which cuts without
wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.”
“We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the
same boat now.”
“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.”
He was a great man.... he is an inspiration.
