The words of great people resonate forever. Courtesy of Compass’ Leonard Steinberg, here are some words from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. They are words of wisdom we can all learn from. What would Martin Luther King say to us today? These words are as timely today as they were back when he said them.
“Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.”
“Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.”
“A lie cannot live.”
“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.”
“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”
“Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.”
“Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.”
“Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness.”
“We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the size of our automobiles rather than by the quality of our service and relationship to mankind.”
“People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they have not communicated with each other.”
“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”
“At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.”
There is no way to improve on them. They are forever words.
