Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or the darkness of selfishness.  This is the judgment.  Life's most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others? ~Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend ~Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The 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.  The true neighbor will risk his position, his prestige, and even his life for the welfare of others.  In dangerous valleys and hazardous pathways, he will lift some bruised and beaten brother to a higher and more noble life. ~Martin Luther King Jr.

The Grave Sites, Dr. King & Coretta Scott King

We've got some difficult days ahead.  But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountain top.  And I don't mind.  Like anybody, I would like to live a long life; longevity has its place.  But I'm not concerned about that now.  I just want to do God's will.  And He's allowed me to go up the mountain.  And I've looked over.  And I've seen the promised land.  I may not get there with you.  But I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.  And I'm happy tonight, I'm not worried about anything.  I'm not fearing any man.  Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. ~April 3, 1968, Dr. King's last speech before being assassinated

When evil men plot, good men must plan.  When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind.  When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to glories of love. Where evil men would seek to perpetuate an unjust status quo, good men must seek to bring into being a real order of justice. ~Martin Luther King Jr.
