dream of a United States that is
void of segregation and racism,
King also advocated for nonviolent
methods of protest.
Here are some quotes of His:
1) Take the first step in faith,
you don't have to see the whole staircase,
just take the first step.
2) Darkness cannot drive out darkness , only
light can do that . Hate cannot drive out hate
only love can do that.
3) Forgiveness is not an occasional act
it is a constant attitude.
4) It is cheerful to God when you
rejoice or laugh from the bottom
of your heart.
5) When I took up the cross I
recognized its meaning. The cross
is something that you bear,
and ultimately what you die on.
6) The end of life is not to be happy ,
nor to achieve pleasure and avoid
pain, but to do the will of God
come what may.
7) I have decided to stick to love
hate is too great a burden to bear.
8) In the end , we will remember
not the WORDS of our ENEMIES,
but the SILENCE of our FRIENDS.
But in the end is reconciliation
the end is redemption
the end is creation of the
beloved community
it is this type of spirit
and this type of love
that can transform
opposers into friends.
It is this type of understanding
goodwill , that will transform
the deep gloom of the old age into
the exuberant gladness of the
new age. It is this love
which will bring about
miracles in the hearts of men.
