Question of Color
I can feel it’s a question of colours,
I can feel it’s that thing of black and white
Once I had a dream just like Martin Luther King
The world would come together and unite
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so
tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism
and war that the bright daybreak of peace and
brotherhood can never become a reality....
I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional
love will have the final word. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve.
You don't have to have a college degree to serve.
You don't have to make your subject and your verb
agree to serve.... You don't have to know the second
theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve.
You only need a heart full of grace.
A soul generated by love. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
The purpose of life is not to be happy - but to matter,
to be productive, to be useful, to have it make
some difference that you have lived at all. ~Leo Rosten
We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish,
but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers.
Our abundance has brought us neither peace of mind
nor serenity of spirit. ~
Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength to Love, 1963
I would be the last to condemn the thousands of sincere and
dedicated people outside the churches who have labored unselfishly
through various humanitarian movements to cure the world of social evils,
for I would rather a man be a committed humanist than an uncommitted Christian.
~Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength to Love, 1963
The oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever-rising tides of hate.
History is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that
pursued that self-defeating path of hate.
Love is the key to the solution of the problems of the world.
~Martin Luther King, Jr., Nobel Prize lecture, 11 December 1968
