Martin Luther King, Jr.

• A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.
• 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.
• In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
• Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'
• Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.
• Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control.
• That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.
• The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.
• The time is always right to do what is right.
• The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
• There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.
• We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
• We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.
