While his \u201cI Have a Dream\u201d speech is the most well-known piece of his writing, Martin Luther King Jr. was the author of multiple books, include \u201cStride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story,\u201d \u201cWhy We Can\u2019t Wait,\u201d \u201cStrength to Love,\u201d \u201cWhere Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?\u201d and the posthumously published \u201cTrumpet of Conscience\u201d with a foreword by Coretta Scott King. Here are some of the most famous Martin Luther King Jr. quotes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInjustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDarkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFreedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe time is always right to do what is right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFree at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFaith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBe a bush if you can’t be a tree. If you can’t be a highway, just be a trail. If you can’t be a sun, be a star. For it isn’t by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLife’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
