Gandhi was inevitable. If humanity is to progress, Gandhi is inescapable. He lived, thought and acted, inspired by the vision of humanity evolving toward a world of peace and harmony. We may ignore Gandhi at our own risk.

Martin Luther King Jr.

God has given each normal person a capacity to achieve some end. True, some are endowed with more talent than others, but God has left none of us talentless.

Martin Luther King Jr.

God is not interested merely in the freedom of black men, and brown men, and yellow men; God is interested in the freedom of the whole human race.

Martin Luther King Jr.

God made the world from nothing, and if we can be nothing, then God can make something of us.

Martin Luther King Jr.

God still has a way of wringing good out of evil. History has proven time and time again that unmerited suffering is redemptive.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies – or else? The chain reaction of evil – hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars – must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.

Martin Luther King Jr.

He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.

Martin Luther King Jr.

History has thrust something upon me from which I cannot turn away.
