These are some of my favorite quotes from The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.:
“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
‘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.”
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’
“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education. ”
“A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.”
“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.”
