“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

“Our lives begin and end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

“Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.”

“The function on education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character — that is the true goal of education.”

“I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'”

Do not deify this guy; he was also conjectured an incredible rascal.
It is purported: he cheated on his doctorate, he was in bed with communist organizations, he was a serial adulterer and a hound for white prostitutes, and his name is also a fake, it is just Michael, not the illustrious Martin Luther.
