Thought of the Week:

“Without love, there is no reason to know anyone, for love will in the end connect us to our neighbors, our children and our hearts.”

― Martin Luther King Jr.

Thought of the Week:

“On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, “Is it safe?” Expediency asks the question, “Is it politic?” And Vanity comes along and asks the question, “Is it popular?” But Conscience asks the question, “Is it right?”... The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of convenience, but where he stands in moments of challenge, moments of great crisis and controversy.”

― Martin Luther King Jr., The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr

Thought of the Week:

“He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.”

― Martin Luther King Jr.

Thought of the Week:

“If it falls to your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music ... Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.”

― Martin Luther King Jr.

Thought of the Week:

“A social movement that only moves people is merely a revolt. A movement that changes both people and institutions is a revolution.”

― Martin Luther King Jr., Why We Can't Wait

Thought of the Week:

“Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.”

― Martin Luther King Jr.

Thought of the Week:

“We must use time creatively - and forever realize that the time is always hope to do great things.”

― Martin Luther King Jr.

07/14/2025

Thought of the Week:

“One of the greatest problems of history is that the concepts of love and power are usually contrasted as polar opposites. Love is identified with a resignation of power and power with a denial of love. What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive and that love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.”

― Martin Luther King Jr., The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.

07/07/2025

Thought of the Week:

“Many people fear nothing more terribly than to take a position which stands out sharply and clearly from the prevailing opinion. The tendency of most is to adopt a view that is so ambiguous that it will include everything and so popular that it will include everybody. Not a few men who cherish lofty and noble ideals hide them under a bushel for fear of being called different.”

― Martin Luther King Jr.
