"Many people fear nothing more terribly than..." - Quote by Martin Luther King Jr

“If you succumb to the temptation of using violence in the struggle, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness, and your chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos.”

“We must move past indecision to action. We must find new ways to speak for peace in Vietnam and for justice throughout the developing world, a world that borders on our doors. If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark, and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight.”

“The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists, who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood. The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been nonconformists. In any cause that concerns the progress of mankind, put your faith in the nonconformist!”

“It is difficult, if not impossible, for most people to think otherwise than in the fashion of their own period.”

“Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members.”

“Why should we leave it to Harper & Brothers and Redding & Co. to select our reading?”

“Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work - this is the only way. Go on; remember - patience and purity and courage and steady work. . . . So long as you are pure, and true to your principles, you will never fail.”

“You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.”

“Better to dare mighty things and fail than to live in a grey twilight where there is neither victory nor defeat.”
