Circadian XLVI-MLK quotes

“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 can't see the whole staircase.”


“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” 


“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”


“I have decided to stick to love...Hate is too great a burden to bear.”


“Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.” 



“No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they'd die for.”

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

“Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.”

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”

“There comes a time when silence is betrayal.”

“I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls.”

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

“Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.”

“We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”

“Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals.”

“People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they have not communicated with each other.”

“Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.”
