"Pride (In the Name of Love)" is a song by Irish #rock band U2. It is the second track on the band's 1984 album, #TheUnforgettableFire, and was released as its lead #single in September 1984. The song was produced by #BrianEno and #DanielLanois. Written about the civil rights leader #MartinLutherKingJr, "#Pride" received mixed critical reviews at the time, but it was a major commercial success for U2 and has since become one of their most popular songs.

Not a quote for inspiration. A standard to meet. Martin Luther King Jr. named the truth, demanded justice and forced a nation and each one of us to answer. The question is whether we will. #MLK #MartinLutherKingJr #Justice #HumanRights #CivilRights #MoralCourage #FreedomIsntFree

"We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered."
Martin Luther King Jr. 1967-04-04

Education

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.

Justice

It is not possible to be in favor of justice for some people and not be in favor of justice for all people.

[…]

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Challenge

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy.

Hate

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man’s sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Communication

People fail to get along because they fear each other; They fear each other because they don’t know each other; They don’t know each other because they have not communicated with each other.

~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Solid thinking

Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
