- Martin Luther King Jr.
About this Quote
This quote by Martin Luther King Jr. talks to the idea that development is not something that occurs without effort. It is not something that is guaranteed or that will happen immediately. Instead, progress requires commitment and hard work. It needs sacrifice, suffering, and struggle. It needs people to put in steadfast effort and to be passionate about the cause. This quote is a reminder that progress is not something that will take place without effort, and that it is up to people to make a difference and to strive for justice. It is a reminder that development is something that is made, not something that is provided.
"In my case Pilgrim's Progress consisted in my having to climb down a thousand ladders until I could reach out my hand to the little clod of earth that I am"
"Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress"
"Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress"
