While Dr. King is largely remembered for his religious faith, he was also one of our foremost philosophers who understood the importance of reason and balance in society.

I find Martin Luther King Jr. quote quite interesting mainly because although he was a committed Christian and a pastor, he has more respect for those who are completely committed to their belief and are willing to live and argue for what they believe, although they believe differently than him. Personally, I can see why he has this stance. Because although someone may claim they believe something, if they don't take a stance for it, they are hypocritical. The question comes to mind, "if you claim to believe in something/someone but are not willing to take a stance or fight for it, do you truly believe it/them?"
