*"Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum

Some famous quotes from Dr. King : -

"Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability.
but comes through continuous struggle.
And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom.
A man can't ride you unless your back is bent."
Martin Luther King,
Jr.<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/martinluth121065.html>
"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who
helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against
it is really cooperating with it."
Martin Luther King,
Jr.<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/martinluth124474.html>
"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies,
but the silence of our friends."
Martin Luther King,
Jr.<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/martinluth103571.html>

 "Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable...
Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and
struggle;
the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals."
Martin Luther King,
Jr.<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/martinluth164280.html>
