Celebrating MLK Jr.
In honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I'm sharing three of his quotations with everyone. Let's all strive to give peace a chance to blossom in our lives.
On society: "The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined non-conformists who are dedicated to justice, peace, and brotherhood."
On law: "I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law."
On righteousness: "I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant."
