More From Martin Luther King, Jr.

There is little hope for us until we become tough-minded enough to break loose from the shackles of prejudice, half-truths, and downright ignorance. the shape of the world today does not permit us the luxury of soft mindedness. a nation or a civilization that continues to produce soft minded men purchases its own spiritual death on an installment plan.

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...'

Are soft-hearted people handicapped in business? you have heard a businessman say of someone else, he's all right, but he's too soft-hearted.... to be soft-hearted may be handicapping, in a sense. but on the whole, a soft heart is to be preferred to a hard heart. hard-hearted, severe, dominating giants sometimes manage to get further and to amass more money. but they get less genuine joy out of life.... it is the hard-boiled employer, not the soft-hearted species, that incites most of our strikes and does most to endanger the harmonious progress of democracy.

I don't believe that the american people want us to focus on our job security. they want us to focus on their job security. i don't think they want more gridlock. i don't think they want more partisanship. i don't think they want more obstruction. they didn't send us to washington to fight each other in some sort of political steel-cage match to see who comes out alive. that's not what they want. they sent us to washington to work together, to get things done, and to solve the problems that they're grappling with every single day.
