ADD QUOTES-
Martin Luther King Jr: Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.

Martin Luther King Jr: This is what I try to teach in the struggle in the South, that we are not engaged in a struggle that means we sit down and do nothing, there is a great deal of difference between non-resistance to evil and non-violent resistance. Non-resistance leaves you in a state of stagnant passivity and deadly complacency, where non-violent resistance means that you do resist in a very strong and determined manner. And I think some of the criticisms of non-violence or some of the critics fail to realize that we are talking about something very strong and they confuse non-resistance with non-violent resistance.

Martin Luther King Jr: True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.
