More Quotes by Martin Luther King Jr.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Perhaps the worst sin in life is knowing right and not doing it.

I have decided to love. If you are seeking the highest good, I think you can find it through love. And the beautiful thing is that we are moving against wrong when we do it, because John was right, God is love. He who hates does not know God, but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
It is always the right time to do the right thing.
