Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes
We must move past indecision to action. We must find new ways to speak for peace in Vietnam and for justice throughout the developing world, a world that borders on our doors. If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark, and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight.

And when they call themselves the good and the just, do not forget that they would be pharisees, if only they had-power.
