More From Martin Luther King, Jr.

When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.
Mean Evil Trying
The problem of good and evil is not the problem of good and evil, but only the problem of evil. in opposition to good there are evil characters, but there are no good characters in opposition to evil. evil is arguable, but good is not. therefore the devil always wins the argument.
Character Winning Evil
There's always the same amount of good luck and bad luck in the world. if one person doesn't get the bad luck, somebody else will have to get it in their place. there's always the same amount of good and evil, too. we can't eradicate evil, we can only evict it, force it to move across town. and when evil moves, some good always goes with it. but we can never alter the ratio of good to evil. all we can do is keep things stirred up so neither good nor evil solidifies. that's when things get scary. life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.
Moving Good Luck Evil
By our attitude, we decide to read, or not to read. by our attitude, we decide to try or give up. by our attitude, we blame ourselves for our failure, or we blame others. our attitude determines whether we tell the truth or lie, act or procrastinate, advance or recede, and by our own attitude we and we alone actually decide whether to succeed or fail.
Giving Up Attitude Lying
Annihilation itself is no death to evil. only good where evil was, is evil dead. an evil thing must live with its evil until it chooses to be good. that alone is the slaying of evil.
Evil Slaying Annihilation
When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him. you lift the relationship thereby to a higher level. the best in the other person begins to flow out toward you as your best flows toward him. in the meeting of the best in each a higher unity of understanding is established.

My attitude to peace is rather based on the burmese definition of peace - it really means removing all the negative factors that destroy peace in this world. so peace does not mean just putting an end to violence or to war, but to all other factors that threaten peace, such as discrimination, such as inequality, poverty.

The opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is itself a political attitude.

Philosophy appears to some people as a homogenous milieu: there thoughts are born and die, there systems are built, and there, in turn, they collapse. others take philosophy for a specific attitude which we can freely adopt at will. still others see it as a determined segment of culture. in our view philosophy does not exist.
Attitude Philosophy Views
The key to every man is his thought. sturdy and defying though he look, he has a helm which he obeys, which is the idea after which all his facts are classified. he can only be reformed by showing him a new idea which commands his own.
