Quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

As we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day this week, here are some quotes from Martin Luther King, Jr. on leadership:

“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.”

“A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus, but a molder of consensus.”

“The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people, but the silence over that by the good people.”

“Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake.  Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.”

Thoughtful Thursday
