Today we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. as one of the greatest civil rights activists of our time, but above all MLK was a humanitarian. He preached messages of love, kindness, selflessness, and hope — words that still speak to the core of who we are as women. So as we reflect on the legacy of Dr. King 48 years after his passing, let these MLK quotes inspire you to love a little more and tolerate anything that doesn’t bring you peace a little less.

There’s nothing that can be gained from living in that space.

Never feel guilty for speaking up for what you know is right.

Things can always get better.

Make every moment count.

Know that every step you take toward your dreams is worth it.

No person.

Never cut corners or or compromise your morals on the quest for success.
