The Martin Luther King Respect Thread

This man is a hero to me, a pure Hero. I will devote 39 minutes piecing together a big respect thread to him.

No Caption Provided

Inspiring quotes of MLK will be chopped into sections. Faith, family, love, God, peace, equality.

Faith: My most favorite quote

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

Martin Luther King Jr.

Inspiriation:

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
Martin Luther King Jr., I Have a Dream: Writings and Speeches That Changed the World

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

“Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

“the time is always right to do the right thing”
Martin Luther King Jr.
“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

No person has the right to rain on your dreams.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

These are just s0me of his quotes. He used Love as his weapon. And guess what? He fixed a broken society with Love.

One of my most favorite quotes from him:

"Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom, by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred" - MLK

God bless all of you (even if you don't believe in him) and have a marvelous MLK day. This is an example of someone who shifted a society, even more then John Lennon, and this society shifter was a Christian.
