Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes [Inbound Recruiter]

Hello and good day...

From my firm, Johnston Search (Inbound Recruiter) to you and yours... Happy Martin Luther King Day...

I wanted to share some of my favorite quotes from one of the greatest leaders for equality and justice who has ever lived...

"A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus."

"A lie cannot live."

"A man can't ride your back unless it's bent."

A man who won't die for something is not fit to live."

A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan."

"Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better."

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

"Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness."

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."

Comment by David Smooke on January 16, 2012 at 7:13pm: Our Blogs started with the same MLK quote - "A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus" - Very Cool Brian!

The other three quotes I featured and discussed in "Martin Luther King on Labor in America" were:

- "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that."

- "Privileged classes never give up their privileges without strong resistance … If we wait for it to work itself out, it will never be worked out.”

- (this last one is from a rare video of King at a Worker's Strike - check post for this must see video) "When you are engaged in work that serves humanity and is for the building of humanity, it has dignity and it has worth."
