What a difference one man can make in our world. Though we could all rattle off some of our favorite people in history, Martin Luther King Jr. is a dynamic man who made an enormous impact pursuing equality. Here are some of our favorite MLK quotes:
“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”
“…Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
“…New privileges did not come without someone suffering for them or sacrificing…”
“Whatever your life’s work, do it well. A man should do his job so well the living, the dead and the unborn could do it no better.”
“The time is always right to do what is right.”
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.”
“A man who won’t die for something is not fit to live.”
“The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.”
Martin Luther King Jr. was a brilliant man. We are happy to be honoring him today.
