The wise words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., resonate year after year. Here are a few quotes from MLK, which continue to inspire people of all nations:

  • “Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”
  • “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”
  • “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
  • “He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”
