“Hate destroys the hater.”

I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls.

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

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.

Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.

Not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service.

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.

Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.

People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they have not communicated with each other.

The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.

Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.

If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor.

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

Most of us, no matter what we say, are walking in the dark, whistling in the dark.

It all begins with forgiveness, because to heal the world, we first have to heal ourselves.

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I’m possible!

Misfortunes never come singly.

He who robs us of our dreams robs us of our life.

Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

Live out of your imagination instead of out of your memory.

Sometimes we forget what we have overcome.
