“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.” #MLK

“Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question ‘Is it politic?’ And Vanity comes along and asks the question ‘Is it popular?’ But Conscience asks the question ‘Is it right?’” #MLK

“And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because conscience tells him it is right.” #MLK

"We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.” #MLK

King resting. #MLK

“Our goal is to create a beloved community and this will require a qualitative change in our souls
as well as a quantitative change in our lives.” #MLK

“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” #MLK

“A Church that has lost its voice for justice is a Church that has lost its relevance in the world.” #MLK

On the move for love and justice. #MLK #CorettaScottKing

“We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." #MLK
