wisdom from martin luther king jr

no commentary today. just some wisdom from a great american martin luther king jr:

“Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals.”  —“A Tough Mind and a Tender Heart” sermon, August 30, 1959

“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.”  —Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, Oslo, Norway, 1964

“For when people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory.”  —“I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech, April 3, 1968

“All we say to America is, ‘Be true to what you said on paper.’ If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they hadn’t committed themselves to that over there. But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of the press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right.”  —“I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech, April 3, 1968

“We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.”  —”I Have A Dream” speech in Washington, D.C., August 28, 1963
