Martin Luther King Jr. Quotes

This nation is asking for action and action now.

We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there "is" such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and postive action.

Do it now. Not next week. Not tomorrow. Not later this afternoon. Now.

When the snake is already in the house, one need not discuss the matter for long.

Something must be done.

A good solution applied with vigor now is better than a perfect solution applied ten minutes later.

You need a real crisis before you have reforms.

Tomorrow will be too late, it's now or never.

At certain times you really feel as though you have to do something.

Act now. Act with speed.

IBM needed - an enormous sense of urgency.

Soon is not as good as now.

The sooner you act, the bigger difference you can make.

It is better to act too quickly than it is to wait too long.

The Ultimate decision, the fastest decision there is, is ACTION!

Do it. Do it right. Do it right now.

Sooner would be better than later, and now would be better than sooner." - Tyrion

Never, never, never postpone following a prompting.

Well, do anything, if you do something right, we'll use it, and if you do something wrong, we'll fix it, but do something and do it now.
