Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion... Appearance should not be mistaken for truth; narrow human doctrines that only tend to elate and magnify few, should not be substituted for the world-redeeming creed of Christ.

About This Quote

Martin Luther King Jr. said, "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." The quote above is from his famous speech, “I Have a Dream” in which he talks about the importance of equality and freedom. But what does it mean when we talk about the “content of our character?” This quote is also about humanity and how we portray it in our actions and in our lives.
