MLK Quotes:
“It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important.”

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

“Success, recognition, and conformity are the bywords of the modern world where everyone seems to crave the anesthetizing security of being identified with the majority.”

“We must combine the toughness of the serpent and the softness of the dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.”

“Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.”

“If a man hasn’t discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.”

MLK
