Quote DB :: Authors :: Martin Luther King Jr. View all quotes by Martin Luther King Jr. View all quotes in Race Quote Rating Rate "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." "Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love." "Our nettlesome task is to discover how to organize our strength into compelling power." "It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality." "I want to be the white man's brother, not his brother-in-law." "Before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, we were here. Before the pen of Jefferson etched across the pages of history the majestic words of the Declaration of Independence, we were here. If the inexpressible cruelties of slavery could not stop us, the opposition we now face will surely fail." "The Negro needs the white man to free him from his fears. The white man needs the Negro to free him from his guilt." "It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society." rating 1 Next >>
