Additional quotes by Martin Luther King Jr.

This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.

[This] adoration, too, was not the same as the worship of God. In my opinion they did not yet recognize him as God, but they acted in keeping with the custom mentioned in Scripture, according to which Kings and important people were worshiped; this did not mean more than falling down before them at their feet and honoring them.
