Some quotations, very much lived out by their author, from the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Junior:

“The ultimate measure of a person is not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but where they stand at times of challenge.”

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

“The time is always right to do what is right.”

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

“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend.”
