In honor of Martin Luther King Jr, I am posting an assortment of quotes listed on goodreads.com. Adding my comments to them would reduce his voice.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
“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.”
“Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.”
“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.”
“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.”
“No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they'd die for.”
Martin Luther King Jr. born January 15, 1929, assassinated April 4, 1968.
