being-the-best
Be the best of whatever you are.
want yoke moments
The softminded person always wants to freeze the moment and hold life in the gripping yoke of sameness.
self purpose unwavering-faith
Your self-sacrificin g devotion to your purpose in life and your unwavering faith will carry you through times of difficulty.
jesus love-is greater
Jesus recognized that love is greater than like,
life-is
It all boils down to this: that all life is interrelated.
christian loyalty home
I am indebted to my wife Coretta, without whose love, sacrifices, and loyalty neither life nor work would bring fulfillment. She has given me words of consolation when I needed them and a well-ordered home where #Christian love is a reality.
too-late complacency apathy
There is such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.
religious academic nonconformist
The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been nonconformists.
tension not-afraid creative-tension
I am not afraid of the word tension.
years painful-experiences direct-action
We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly I have never yet engaged in a direct action movement that was 'well timed,' according to the timetable of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word 'Wait!' It rings in the ear of every Negro with a piercing familiarity. This 'wait' has almost always meant 'never.' We must come to see with the distinguished jurist of yesterday that 'justice too long delayed is justice denied.'
jesus home cities
I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the eighth century prophets left their little villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns; and just as the Apostle Paul left his little village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to practically every hamlet and city of the Graeco-Roman world, I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid.
self-esteem artist streets
Be an artist at whatever you do. Even if you are a street sweeper, be the Michelangelo of street sweepers.
children light our-generation
History will have to recordThat the greatest tragedy of this period of social transitionWas not the vitriolic words and the violent actions of the bad peopleBut the appalling silence and indifference of the good.Our generation will have to repent notOnly for the words and actions of the children of darknessBut also for the fears and apathy of thechildren of light.
philosophy struggle people
The intellectual and moral satisfaction that I failed to gain from the utilitarianism of Bentham and Mill, the revolutionary methods of Marx and Lenin, the social contract theory of Hobbes, the "back to nature" optimism of Rousseau, and the superman philosophy of Nietzsche, I found in the nonviolent resistance philosophy of Gandhi. I came to feel that this was the only morally and practically sound method open to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom.
