第一篇：马丁·路德·金： I've Been to the Mountaintop
Martin Luther King, Jr
“I've Been to the Mountaintop”
delivered 3 April 1968, Mason Temple(Church of God in Christ Headquarters), Memphis, Tennessee
这是马丁.路德.金博士的最后一次演讲，次日他被暗杀。在他发表这篇著名的演讲的时候，他预感到了自己的命运，因为在他来孟菲斯之前已经收到了各种各样的死亡恐吓。但是他用行动作出了回答。他说不要问我帮了别人自己会有什么后果，而要问“如果我不帮助别人，别人会有什么后果”。
演讲的题目出自《圣经》以色列人出埃及的典故，摩西带领以色列人摆脱埃及法老的奴役，去往哪上帝应许的“流奶与蜜之地”–迦南。摩西被上帝带到山顶上，看到了那“应许之地”(promise land)，但他却被告知，他自己不能到达。
马丁.路德.金说“像其他人一样，我也想活的长一些。但是现在我不在乎这一点，我只想尊从上帝的意愿，他已经允许我站在山顶，看到了那应许之地，我也许不能和你们一起到达那里，但是今晚我要告诉大家，人民一定会到哪里!”
马丁.路德.金是一名伟大的基督徒，传道者。他坚持“非暴力”斗争的原则，他用行动实践了耶稣基督“以善胜恶”的伟大真理。金博士倒下了，爱–看起来是似乎是那么软弱，但是40年过去了，是爱，还是“子弹”(马尔科姆.X的著名演讲《子弹还是选票》)获得了胜利?
这篇演讲中，金博士充满了实践神的国度的热情，他说“我现在什么也不怕，因为我的双眼已经见证了神的荣耀!”。我想起了爱因斯坦读甘地传后的感慨：后代的子孙，很难想象，在我们这个时代，曾经走过这么一位血肉之躯。
Thank you very kindly, my friends.As I listened to Ralph Abernathy and his eloquent and generous introduction and then thought about myself, I wondered who he was talking about.It's always good to have your closest friend and associate to say something good about you.And Ralph Abernathy is the best friend that I have in the world.I'm delighted to see each of you here tonight in spite of a storm warning.You reveal that you are determined to go on anyhow.Something is happening in Memphis;something is happening in our world.And you know, if I were standing at the beginning of time, with the possibility of taking a kind of general and panoramic view of the whole of human history up to now, and the Almighty said to me, “Martin Luther King, which age would you like to live in?” I would take my mental flight by Egypt and I would watch God's children in their magnificent trek from the dark dungeons of Egypt through, or rather across the Red Sea, through the wilderness on toward the promised land.And in spite of its magnificence, I wouldn't stop there.I would move on by Greece and take my mind to Mount Olympus.And I would see plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Euripides and Aristophanes assembled around the parthenon.And I would watch them around the parthenon as they discussed the great and eternal issues of reality.But I wouldn't stop there.I would go on, even to the great heyday of the Roman Empire.And I would see developments around there, through various emperors and leaders.But I wouldn't stop there.I would even come up to the day of the Renaissance, and get a quick picture of all that the Renaissance did for the cultural and aesthetic life of man.But I wouldn't stop there.I would even go by the way that the man for whom I am named had his habitat.And I would watch Martin Luther as he tacked his ninety-five theses on the door at the church of Wittenberg.But I wouldn't stop there.I would come on up even to 1863, and watch a vacillating president by the name of Abraham Lincoln finally come to the conclusion that he had to sign the Emancipation proclamation.But I wouldn't stop there.I would even come up to the early thirties, and see a man grappling with the problems of the bankruptcy of his nation.And come with an eloquent cry that we have nothing to fear but “fear itself.” But I wouldn't stop there.Strangely enough, I would turn to the Almighty, and say, “If you allow me to live just a few years in the second half of the 20th century, I will be happy.”
Now that's a strange statement to make, because the world is all messed up.The nation is sick.Trouble is in the land;confusion all around.That's a strange statement.But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.And I see God working in this period of the twentieth century in a way that men, in some strange way, are responding.Something is happening in our world.The masses of people are rising up.And wherever they are assembled today, whether they are in Johannesburg, South Africa;Nairobi, Kenya;Accra, Ghana;New York City;Atlanta, Georgia;Jackson, Mississippi;or Memphis, Tennessee--the cry is always the same: “We want to be free.”
And another reason that I'm happy to live in this period is that we have been forced to a point where we are going to have to grapple with the problems that men have been trying to grapple with through history, but the demands didn't force them to do it.Survival demands that we grapple with them.Men, for years now, have been talking about war and peace.But now, no longer can they just talk about it.It is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence in this world;it's nonviolence or nonexistence.That is where we are today.And also in the human rights revolution, if something isn't done, and done in a hurry, to bring the colored peoples of the world out of their long years of poverty, their long years of hurt and neglect, the whole world is doomed.Now, I'm just happy that God has allowed me to live in this period to see what is unfolding.And I'm happy that He's allowed me to be in Memphis.I can remember--I can remember when Negroes were just going around as Ralph has said, so often, scratching where they didn't itch, and laughing when they were not tickled.But that day is all over.We mean business now, and we are determined to gain our rightful place in God's world.And that's all this whole thing is about.We aren't engaged in any negative protest and in any negative arguments with anybody.We are saying that we are determined to be men.We are determined to be people.We are saying--We are saying that we are God's children.And that we are God's children, we don't have to live like we are forced to live.Now, what does all of this mean in this great period of history? It means that we've got to stay together.We've got to stay together and maintain unity.You know, whenever pharaoh wanted to prolong the period of slavery in Egypt, he had a favorite, favorite formula for doing it.What was that? He kept the slaves fighting among themselves.But whenever the slaves get together, something happens in pharaoh's court, and he cannot hold the slaves in slavery.When the slaves get together, that's the beginning of getting out of slavery.Now let us maintain unity.Secondly, let us keep the issues where they are.The issue is injustice.The issue is the refusal of Memphis to be fair and honest in its dealings with its public servants, who happen to be sanitation workers.Now, we've got to keep attention on that.That's always the problem with a little violence.You know what happened the other day, and the press dealt only with the window-breaking.I read the articles.They very seldom got around to mentioning the fact that one thousand, three hundred sanitation workers are on strike, and that Memphis is not being fair to them, and that Mayor Loeb is in dire need of a doctor.They didn't get around to that.Now we're going to march again, and we've got to march again, in order to put the issue where it is supposed to be--and force everybody to see that there are thirteen hundred of God's children here suffering, sometimes going hungry, going through dark and dreary nights wondering how this thing is going to come out.That's the issue.And we've got to say to the nation: We know how it's coming out.For when people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory.We aren't going to let any mace stop us.We are masters in our nonviolent movement in disarming police forces;they don't know what to do.I've seen them so often.I remember in Birmingham, Alabama, when we were in that majestic struggle there, we would move out of the 16th Street Baptist Church day after day;by the hundreds we would move out.And Bull Connor would tell them to send the dogs forth, and they did come;but we just went before the dogs singing, “Ain't gonna let nobody turn me around.”
Bull Connor next would say, “Turn the fire hoses on.” And as I said to you the other night, Bull Connor didn't know history.He knew a kind of physics that somehow didn't relate to the transphysics that we knew about.And that was the fact that there was a certain kind of fire that no water could put out.And we went before the fire hoses;we had known water.If we were Baptist or some other denominations, we had been immersed.If we were Methodist, and some others, we had been sprinkled, but we knew water.That couldn't stop us.And we just went on before the dogs and we would look at them;and we'd go on before the water hoses and we would look at it, and we'd just go on singing “Over my head I see freedom in the air.” And then we would be thrown in the paddy wagons, and sometimes we were stacked in there like sardines in a can.And they would throw us in, and old Bull would say, “Take 'em off,” and they did;and we would just go in the paddy wagon singing, “We Shall Overcome.” And every now and then we'd get in jail, and we'd see the jailers looking through the windows being moved by our prayers, and being moved by our words and our songs.And there was a power there which Bull Connor couldn't adjust to;and so we ended up transforming Bull into a steer, and we won our struggle in Birmingham.Now we've got to go on in Memphis just like that.I call upon you to be with us when we go out Monday.Now about injunctions: We have an injunction and we're going into court tomorrow morning to fight this illegal, unconstitutional injunction.All we say to America is, “Be true to what you said on paper.” If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe I could understand some of these illegal injunctions.Maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they hadn't committed themselves to that over there.But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly.Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech.Somewhere I read of the freedom of press.Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right.And so just as I say, we aren't going to let dogs or water hoses turn us around, we aren't going to let any injunction turn us around.We are going on.We need all of you.And you know what's beautiful to me is to see all of these ministers of the Gospel.It's a marvelous picture.Who is it that is supposed to articulate the longings and aspirations of the people more than the preacher? Somehow the preacher must have a kind of fire shut up in his bones.And whenever injustice is around he tell it.Somehow the preacher must be an Amos, and saith, “When God speaks who can but prophesy?” Again with Amos, “Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.” Somehow the preacher must say with Jesus, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me,” and he's anointed me to deal with the problems of the poor.“
And I want to commend the preachers, under the leadership of these noble men: James Lawson, one who has been in this struggle for many years;he's been to jail for struggling;he's been kicked out of Vanderbilt University for this struggle, but he's still going on, fighting for the rights of his people.Reverend Ralph Jackson, Billy Kiles;I could just go right on down the list, but time will not permit.But I want to thank all of them.And I want you to thank them, because so often, preachers aren't concerned about anything but themselves.And I'm always happy to see a relevant ministry.It's all right to talk about ”long white robes over yonder,“ in all of its symbolism.But ultimately people want some suits and dresses and shoes to wear down here!It's all right to talk about ”streets flowing with milk and honey,“ but God has commanded us to be concerned about the slums down here, and his children who can't eat three square meals a day.It's all right to talk about the new Jerusalem, but one day, God's preacher must talk about the new New York, the new Atlanta, the new philadelphia, the new Los Angeles, the new Memphis, Tennessee.This is what we have to do.Now the other thing we'll have to do is this: Always anchor our external direct action with the power of economic withdrawal.Now, we are poor people.Individually, we are poor when you compare us with white society in America.We are poor.Never stop and forget that collectively--that means all of us together--collectively we are richer than all the nations in the world, with the exception of nine.Did you ever think about that? After you leave the United States, Soviet Russia, Great Britain, West Germany, France, and I could name the others, the American Negro collectively is richer than most nations of the world.We have an annual income of more than thirty billion dollars a year, which is more than all of the exports of the United States, and more than the national budget of Canada.Did you know that? That's power right there, if we know how to pool it.We don't have to argue with anybody.We don't have to curse and go around acting bad with our words.We don't need any bricks and bottles.We don't need any Molotov cocktails.We just need to go around to these stores, and to these massive industries in our country, and say, ”God sent us by here, to say to you that you're not treating his children right.And we've come by here to ask you to make the first item on your agenda fair treatment, where God's children are concerned.Now, if you are not prepared to do that, we do have an agenda that we must follow.And our agenda calls for withdrawing economic support from you.“
And so, as a result of this, we are asking you tonight, to go out and tell your neighbors not to buy Coca-Cola in Memphis.Go by and tell them not to buy Sealtest milk.Tell them not to buy--what is the other bread?--Wonder Bread.And what is the other bread company, Jesse? Tell them not to buy Hart's bread.As Jesse Jackson has said, up to now, only the garbage men have been feeling pain;now we must kind of redistribute the pain.We are choosing these companies because they haven't been fair in their hiring policies;and we are choosing them because they can begin the process of saying they are going to support the needs and the rights of these men who are on strike.And then they can move on town--downtown and tell Mayor Loeb to do what is right.But not only that, we've got to strengthen black institutions.I call upon you to take your money out of the banks downtown and deposit your money in Tri-State Bank.We want a ”bank-in“ movement in Memphis.Go by the savings and loan association.I'm not asking you something that we don't do ourselves at SCLC.Judge Hooks and others will tell you that we have an account here in the savings and loan association from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.We are telling you to follow what we are doing.put your money there.You have six or seven black insurance companies here in the city of Memphis.Take out your insurance there.We want to have an ”insurance-in.“
It came out in the New York Times the next morning, that if I had merely sneezed, I would have died.Well, about four days later, they allowed me, after the operation, after my chest had been opened, and the blade had been taken out, to move around in the wheel chair in the hospital.They allowed me to read some of the mail that came in, and from all over the states and the world, kind letters came in.I read a few, but one of them I will never forget.I had received one from the president and the Vice-president.I've forgotten what those telegrams said.I'd received a visit and a letter from the Governor of New York, but I've forgotten what that letter said.But there was another letter that came from a little girl, a young girl who was a student at the White plains High School.And I looked at that letter, and I'll never forget it.It said simply,Dear Dr.King,I am a ninth-grade student at the White plains High School.”
And she said,While it should not matter, I would like to mention that I'm a white girl.I read in the paper of your misfortune, and of your suffering.And I read that if you had sneezed, you would have died.And I'm simply writing you to say that I'm so happy that you didn't sneeze.And I want to say tonight--I want to say tonight that I too am happy that I didn't sneeze.Because if I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1960, when students all over the South started sitting-in at lunch counters.And I knew that as they were sitting in, they were really standing up for the best in the American dream, and taking the whole nation back to those great wells of democracy which were dug deep by the Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1961, when we decided to take a ride for freedom and ended segregation in inter-state travel.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1962, when Negroes in Albany, Georgia, decided to straighten their backs up.And whenever men and women straighten their backs up, they are going somewhere, because a man can't ride your back unless it is bent.If I had sneezed--If I had sneezed I wouldn't have been here in 1963, when the black people of Birmingham, Alabama, aroused the conscience of this nation, and brought into being the Civil Rights Bill.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have had a chance later that year, in August, to try to tell America about a dream that I had had.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been down in Selma, Alabama, to see the great Movement there.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been in Memphis to see a community rally around those brothers and sisters who are suffering.I'm so happy that I didn't sneeze.And they were telling me--.Now, it doesn't matter, now.It really doesn't matter what happens now.I left Atlanta this morning, and as we got started on the plane, there were six of us.The pilot said over the public address system, “We are sorry for the delay, but we have Dr.Martin Luther King on the plane.And to be sure that all of the bags were checked, and to be sure that nothing would be wrong with on the plane, we had to check out everything carefully.And we've had the plane protected and guarded all night.”
And then I got into Memphis.And some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out.What would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers?
Well, I don't know what will happen now.We've got some difficult days ahead.But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop.And I don't mind.Like anybody, I would like to live a long life.Longevity has its place.But I'm not concerned about that now.I just want to do God's will.And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain.And I've looked over.And I've seen the promised Land.I may not get there with you.But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!
And so I'm happy, tonight.I'm not worried about anything.I'm not fearing any man!
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord！
第二篇：马丁·路德·金简介
马丁·路德·金简介
马丁·路德·金于1929年1月15日出生在佐治亚州亚特兰大市的一个黑人牧师家庭。年少的金从母亲那里学会了怎样去爱、同情及理解他人；从父亲那里学到的是果敢、坚强、率直和坦诚。幼小的心灵里早早地萌发了对种族歧视强烈憎恨的种子。15岁时，聪颖好学的金以优异成绩连跳两级，从高中毕业，进入摩尔豪斯学院学习，成为院长梅斯博士的高材生。在梅斯博士的教育下，金不畏强暴的思想被提高到了理论的高度。
当时美国正值战后经济发展的巅峰时期，强大的政治、军事力量使它坐上了“自由世界”盟主的交椅。然而，在美国国内，曾经在战争期间维护过民主事业的黑人却在经济和政治上受到歧视和压迫。面对丑恶、冷酷的现实，年仅17岁的金发现了自己真正的价值是“为上帝服务”，他矢志为社会平等与正义作一名牧师。1949年，他进入著名的克拉泽神学院学习两年，获得神学学士学位；尔后进入波士顿大学攻读宗教学和教理神学，获得神学博士学位。5年大学期间，他孜孜不倦地尽情遨游在人类知识的海洋中。他潜心研究过马克思的社会主义、列宁的共产主义、法国哲学家勒努维埃的人格主义、爱尔兰哲学家伯克利的道德理想主义。他阅读柏拉图、卢梭和托洛的著作，潜心钻研过尼采的“超人”哲学和甘地的“非暴力主义”。他并非简单地、机械地接受这些思想家的观念，而是把它们作为可以播种自己信念的沃土，逐步形成了自己独到的理论基础。金认为，人人生而平等。不论男人女人、黑人白人、老人小孩和智者愚者，也不管人的爱好、资历和财产是否相同，都是人，是能够思维的人类大家庭中的一员，应该受到尊重。
金主张公正无私的爱、普遍的爱，爱一切人，甚至要爱敌人。“敌人不爱你，因为敌人不懂得什么是爱；我们爱敌人，是对一切人的救赎性的善良态度。” 信仰人的尊严和价值、基督教的普遍仁爱、甘地的不合作精神，构成了金的思想基础和行动准则。
1955年金领导了近5万名黑人展开了声势浩大的抵制公共汽车运动，迫使政府取消了运输工具上的座位隔离制。1957年金被推举为“南部基督教领袖联合会”主席。为了正义与和平，他四处奔走呼号。
1963年，为了使世界人民关注美国种族隔离问题，金会同其他民权运动领袖组织发起了历史性的“向首都华盛顿进军”的运动，要求职业和自由。就是在这次斗争中，金发表了他著名的演讲“我有一个梦想”。这一斗争终于使国会通过了1964年民权法案，授权联邦政府取消公共膳宿方面的种族隔离，宣布在公营设备方面和就业方面的种族歧视为非法。他由此获得了1964年诺贝尔和平奖。
然而，谁也没有料到，正在金竭尽全力、孜孜不倦为实现伟大的梦想而努力奋斗、奔走呼吁的时候，1968年4月4日下午，一声罪恶的枪响顷刻间残酷地击碎了他和黑人兄弟姐妹们，所有美妙的、伟大的梦想——金被谋杀了。
第三篇：马丁.路德.金感想
由“马丁路德金的演讲稿I have a dream”所产生的感想
由“马丁路德金的演讲稿I have a dream”所产生的感想
I have a dream，这是大家都会的口头禅，也知道是马丁路德金在演说中讲的。可是，真正听过他的演讲，看过他的演讲稿，又有多少人呢？这份演讲稿所传递的讯息，结合中国民众现在所面临的现实，可以明确的说：今天，我们中国民众的命运与40多年以前美国黑人的命运拥有许多的共同点。我们民众依然没有真正的自由，也没有民主，更没有实际意义的投票权。普通的民众个人财产得不到有效的法律保障。普通民众的尊严得不到尊重。普通民众的生存依然异常艰难。我们的政府独裁专权，欺压民众，法治成为空谈；官员缺乏监督，无官不贪，不断侵食民众利益。
同为人，我们中国人也有自己的梦想。40多年前，美国黑人民权领袖做到了，21世纪的中国民众依然生活在没有民权的极权社会里。是我们无能吗？是我们不为吗？都不是。是我们各自只顾自己，一盘散沙，被极权统治捆绑到一起，给予些许利益均占，成了既得利益者，成了维护专权的棋子，也是专权的受害者。
民权思想已经在中国民众中扎下根，要发育成长，就要丢掉对中共专权的幻想。这样的专权政府，缺乏监督，绝对是普通民众的恶魔。如果民众满足于被利益均占所收买，那么就得用所要追求的民权与专权政府做交换。得到了些许利益赏赐，失去了的自由、民主、平等的权力，代之以压迫与管制。
不想苟活着，就要发出声音，手拉手，一起向前走。只有如此，才不至于落单，被专权绑架恐吓。40多年前，黑人做到了，21世纪的中国民众依然在为最起码的民权而在黑暗中犹豫着，摸趴着。这对于一个有数千年文明史的民族，不是意味着我们已经落伍于世界民族之林吗？
物质生活的改善不能取代追求民权的完善。没有完善的民权体制，民众的权益随时都有可能丢失。满足于物质生活的人们，如果没有权益的保障，犹如圈养的羔羊，随时都有可能作为专权官僚美味的晚餐。悲剧的灾难，不断地出现，每一件灾难的后面，都牵涉到权利的腐败，权钱的交易，贪婪的官吏，如何能解决得来民众苦难的境遇。
制度的问题，需要民众来推动改变。不可能单独指望某个领导人单枪匹马来做到。这是不可能的历史任务。民权属于人民，民权运动，是该由民众一起同心协力，共同推动，直至成功。
我们中国人也拥有同样的梦想。如今生活得到改善了，但民众的处境依然没有变好。我们需要推动民众权益的进步，才能维护改革开放给民众带来的好处。如果我们不做，如果我们继续软弱，贪污腐败的官吏，专权的政府，就会不断地蚕食侵吞民众的物质积蓄。
我们做得到吗？你愿意吗？请问问自己，多多跟身边的人谈起。
国家是我们的，我们是国家的公民，但我们还没有培育好公民意识，而是被专权政党教育成了顺从的p民。但是，追求民权的运动，不需要诉诸暴力，因为我们不是暴民，我们追求的是民权，就要用民权的方式达到目的。
任何事情，一旦采用暴力，必然是一场双输的游戏。我们不需要暴力，我们更需要抵制暴力。但是，我们也不要害怕暴力，因为专权政府每一次的暴力，每一次的压制，都意味着他们民意的减去。我们要相信暴力，压制是不可能持续的、不可能长久的。我们要有这个希望，这个耐心，也要有这个勇气。任何被侵犯的民众，都是我们民众的一员，他们的任何遭遇，都是我们更加需要追求民权的动力。因此，他们的遭遇不是孤立的事件，我们不要让受害者感到孤单。
我们在追求民权，就要作出不同于以往的改变。只有改变我们追求的方式，持之以恒，才能迫使专权政府作出改变。我们不要指望政府会主动改变，没有民众的推动，专权的官员乐于享受独断的权利所带来的好处。这好处是建立在广大受苦受虐的民众遭遇上。
民权属于民众，民众在追求民权的运动中，都是这场运动的主人。在追求民主、自由、平等的民权路上，我们要团结，我们要呐喊，直到我们实现的那一天，需要每个人的参与，每个人的贡献。
第四篇：马丁.路德金名言
马丁路德金名言(一)
倘若人民之中有一部分被压榨受欺凌、被迫犯罪或站在社会的对立面，我们就不能拥有一个有序健康的国家。
倘若有一大群人经济落后，贫困潦倒，我们就不能真正繁荣昌盛。
当我们严阵以待，保卫我们的民主不受外国的攻击时，我们也要关注在国内赋予全体国民越来越多的公平与自由。
人本身就是目的，因为人是上帝的儿女。人不是为了国家而创造，正相反，国家是应该为人服务的。
马丁路德金名言(二)
价值观的真正改变，意味着我们必须忠诚于全世界全人类，而不是只是关注自己的国家。每个国家都要发扬超过国家界限的忠诚，这样所有的国家才能呈现出自己最好的一面。
每当有事情发生的时候，懦夫会问：“这么做，安全吗?”患得患失的人会问：“这么做，明智吗?”虚荣的人会问：“这么做，受人欢迎吗?”但是，良知只会问：“这么做，正确吗?”正义是不分国家疆界的，任何地方的不公正不平等，都是对其他地方公平公正的威胁。
你不愿为正义挺身而出的一刻，你已经死去。你不愿为真理挺身而出的一刻，你已经死去。你不愿为公正挺身而出的一刻，你已经死去。
请你们告诉自己，无论如何也都不要忘记那些生活在社会底层的穷苦的人„„如果美国不以其财富拯救穷人，最终也要下地狱。如果不把它巨大的资源和财富用来消除贫困，让所有的上帝子民都有饭吃有衣穿，美国也要下地狱。
马丁路德金名言(三)
一个伟大的国家必然是充满爱心的国家，一个不关心弱势群体的人不可能成为伟人，而一个不关心贫困人群的国家也不可能成为伟大的国家。
不抵抗和非暴力两者有很大不同。我当然不是叫你们逆来顺受„„你们要站起来，昂首挺胸，全力对抗一个万恶的体制，你们不是胆小鬼。你们要抗争，同时认识到，非暴力的斗争方式在策略上和道德上都更加有益。
还要等多久?快了，因为被践踏的真理必将重见天日。还要等多久?快了，因为没有什么谎言能够长盛不衰。
一个真正的领导者并不是追求所有人的支持和认同，而是努力去促成各方达成一致。
我们肩负使命，要为弱者说话，为默默无闻的人说话，为我们国家的受害者说话，为这个国家称之为敌人的人说话，因为没有任何出自人类之手的文件，能够使他们成为不值得我们珍惜的人!扩展阅读:马丁路德金名言英文翻译
1、In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.在最后，我们会记得的不是敌人的话语，而是朋友们的沉默。
2、I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.我提出：一个违反良心告诉他那是不公正法律的人，并且他愿意接受牢狱的刑罚，以唤起社会的良心认识到那是不正义的，实际上他表现了对法律的最高敬意。
3、The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.对一个人的终极衡量，不在于他所曾拥有的片刻安逸，而在于他处于挑战与争议的时代。
4、a man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.一个没有立场的人总是相信任何事。
5、We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.我们必须接受失望，因为它是有限的，但千万不可失去希望，因为它是无限的。
6、In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.最终，我们记得的不是我们敌人的话语，而是我们朋友的沉默。
第五篇：我有一个梦想 马丁.路德.金
Lesson 15 I Have A Dream by Martin Luther King
我有一个梦想 马丁.路德.金 I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.I have a dream that one day this nation wil1 rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident;that all men are created equa1.”
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former s1aveowners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood;I have a dream...That one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice;I have a dream...That my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character;I have a dream today.I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers;I have a dream today.I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, and rough places will be made plane and crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.This is our hope.This is the faith that I go back to the South with.With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.With this faith we will be able to work together to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!

1963年8月28日 朋友们，今天我要对你们说，尽管今天和明天困难重重，但我依然怀有一个梦。这个梦深植于美国梦之中。
我梦想有一天，这个国家将会奋起，实现其立国信条的真谛：“我们认为这些真理不言而喻：人人生而平等。”
我梦想有一天，在佐治亚州的红色山冈上，昔日奴隶的儿子能够同昔日奴隶主的儿子同席而坐，亲如手足；
我梦想有一天甚至连密西西比州，一个非正义和压迫的热浪逼人的荒漠之州，也会改造成自由和公正的青青绿洲；
我梦想有一天,我的四个小儿女将生活在一个不是以肤色，而是以品格的优劣作为评判标准的国家里；我今天怀有一个梦。
我梦想有一天，亚拉巴马州会有所改变--尽管那儿种族主义者猖獗，尽管该州州长仍在滔滔不绝地说什么要对联邦法令提出异议和拒绝执行，但总有一天，那儿的黑人儿童能够与白人儿童兄弟姐妹般地携手并行；我今天怀有一个梦。我梦想有一天，深谷弥合，高山夷平，崎路化坦途，曲径成通衢，上帝的光华再现，普天下生灵共谒。
这就是我们的希望，这就是我将带回南方去的信念。有了这个信念，我们就能从绝望之山开采出希望之石。有了这个信念，我们就能把这个国家嘈杂刺耳的争吵声，变为充满手足之情的悦耳交响曲。有了这个信念，我们就能一同工作，一同祈祷，一同斗争，一同入狱，一同维护自由。因为我们知道，我们终有一天会获得自由。让自由之声响彻科罗拉多白雪皑皑的洛基山！让自由之声响彻加利福尼亚州的婀娜群峰！不，不仅如此；让自由之声响彻佐治亚州的石山！让自由之声响彻田纳西州的瞭望山！
让自由之声响彻密西西比州的一座座山峰，一个个土丘。让自由之声响彻每一个山冈！
