Martin Luther King Jr was a phenomenal individual. Recently, I listened to a series of talks about his teachings and writings. King was far from perfect, and controversy still stirs regarding elements of his life. Yet, the reality of the message of injustice was and still remains to be seen as a powerful display of truth.If we took these same truths, that lead to a reshaping of America and applied them to the far reaching regions of the world, we would find ourselves living in a different world indeed.
Here are a few of my favorite sayings by 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.”
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
“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.”
“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
The moral arc of the universe bends at the elbow of justice.”
“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”
“We must use time creatively.“
