HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
DR.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
January
15, 1929 - April 4, 1968
The
following quotes from our beloved freedom fighter, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
are as pertinent today as they were when he spoke them, at least 45 years
ago. It now amazes me that he was
only 39 years old when he was assassinated in the Spring of 1968. He had wisdom
beyond his years.
“In the End, we will
remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
“We must develop and
maintain the capacity to forgive. [S]he who is devoid of the power to forgive
is devoid of the power to love.”
“Never forget that
everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.”
“Freedom is never
voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”
"I
look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by
the content of their character."
