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.”
Inspiriation:

― Martin Luther King Jr.
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

“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.
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.
