Messages from MLK


In honor of one of the greatest of all time, here are a few of my favorite quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase. "

"To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing."

"A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan."

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

"The time is always right to do what is right."

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom. "

"Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see."

"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?"

"That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing."



Have a blessed MLK Day!
