“In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds.”
Martin Luther King Jr
The rest of the quote reads: “Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.”
Martin Luther King Jr was a true disciple of Mahatma Gandhi.
