Favorite Quotes By Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
“Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.”
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
“We’ve learned to fly the air like birds. We’ve learned to swim the seas like fish. And yet we haven’t learned to walk the earth like brothers and sisters.”
“Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a constant attitude.”
“So it means that we must rise up and protest courageously wherever we find segregation. Yes, we must do it nonviolently. We cannot afford to use violence in the struggle.”
“Freedom must ring from every mountainside. And yes, let it ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado. Let it ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let it ring from the mighty Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Let it ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. But not only that, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.”
“One day we will learn that the heart can never be totally right if the head is totally wrong.”
“If you can’t fly, run; if you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving.”
“If you are seeking the highest good, I think you can find it through love.”

I especially like the quote “If you can’t fly, run; if you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving.” Love the bold florals…Makes me think of spring despite the fact that it is freezing!
