A number of years ago I visited the Martin Luther King Jnr. Heritage Site in Atlanta and brought back cards with a few of his quotations written on them. To this day, the quotes below are still my favourite:

“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”. Rev Martin Luther King Jr.
“One day we will learn that the heart can never be totally right if the head is totally wrong. Only through the bringing together of head and heart – intelligence and goodness – shall man rise to a fulfillment of his true nature”. Rev Martin Luther King Jr.
“Many people fear nothing more terribly than to take a position which stands out sharply and clearly from the prevailing opinion. The tendency of most is to adopt a view that is so ambiguous that it will include everything and so popular that it will include everybody”. Rev Martin Luther King Jr.
The quotations are so timeless and on point that they find relevance in many instances to this day. He passed away in April 1968 and this year marks 50 years since his passing.
