Today being Martin Luther King Jr's day, I thought it appropriate to list out atleast 10 of his most memorable quotes. Even today, these quotes are as relevant today, as they were when he spoke them.
1. Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus, but a molder of consensus.
2. I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good.
3. True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.
4. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
5. In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
6. Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
7. I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
8. Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
9. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
10. When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.
But of all his memorable speeches and quotes none can beat the I Have a Dream speech delivered in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
