Daily quote |
Martin Luther King, Jr.(1929 – 1968) An American clergyman, activist, prominent leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. He has become a national icon in the history of modern American liberalism. A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus. A lie cannot live. A man can't ride your back unless it's bent. A man who won't die for something is not fit to live. A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom. A right delayed is a right denied. A riot is the language of the unheard. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence. All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem. |
