“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”–Matthew 5:9
One of the best peacemakers of perpetuity was none aside fromDr Martin Luther King Jr.
A Baptist minister and activist,Dr King is best understood for quietly leading the civil liberties motion with nonviolent strategies based upon his deep Christian beliefs.
Y’ all, this guy was strong. He had lots of enthusiasm, grace, Christ’s love, and justice. He sculpted the method for modification in this country, and he made peace where there was absolutely nothing however department.
In honor of his management, tradition, and faith we take this day to bear in mind and commemorate him.
Here are 20 Martin Luther KingJr quotes for living your best life.

“We must learn to live together like brothers, or we will perish together like fools.”
“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
“The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually. We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers.”
“Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.”
“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.”
“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
