Karen EssexAll my life I have known fear. But I have acted in spite of it. I urge you to do the same. Your father used to say that it is preferable to die rather than to live fearing death.
About This Quote
Martin Luther King, Jr., is an example of someone who did not live in fear of death and did not let it keep him from living a full life. Martin had a strong belief that people should never be afraid to die, especially when they had done nothing wrong. He said that it is preferable to die rather than to live fearing death, and he went on to live his life bravely and fearlessly. He was always fighting for the rights of African Americans and we should all take courage from the message he left behind.
