Martin Luther King Jr.

Honoring the Legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is recognized on the third Monday of January each year and provides us a chance to remember his legacy.

Dr. King spent his life working towards creating an equitable world for all. He advocated for racial equality, as well as stood up for the working class and those who were oppressed across the nation. 

On MLK Day, we would like to honor not only Dr. King, but all of those who worked tirelessly towards equality during the Civil Rights Movement. 

To help spread his message, we would like to share the following quotes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Quotes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”

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

“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.”

“Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.

“The time is always right to do what is right.”

“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.”

“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.”

“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”

“In some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.”
