January 15th: Martin Luther King Day

Martin Luther King Jr was born on this date in 1929. Here are 10 Martin Luther King Jr. Quotations:

Martin Luther King

  1. If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
  2. If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.
  3. Only in the darkness can you see the stars.
  4. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
  5. Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase.
  6. Life's most urgent question is: What are you doing for others?
  7. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character.
  8. If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.
  9. 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.
  10. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us.
