MAKING A WAY OUT OF NO WAY - WOLFGANG MIEDER KA...

In barely forty years of life Martin Luther King (1929-1968) distinguished himself as one of
the greatest social reformers of modern times: civil rights leader  defender of nonviolence in
the struggle of desegregation  champion of the poor  anti-war proponent  and broad-minded
visionary of an interrelated world of free people. His many verbal and written communications
in the form of sermons  speeches  interviews  letters  essays  and several books are replete
with Bible proverbs as Love your enemies  He who lives by the sword shall perish by the sword 
and Man does not live by bread alone as well as folk proverbs as Time and tide wait for no man
Last hired  first fired  No gain without pain  and Making a way out of no way. He also
delighted in citing quotations that have become proverbs  to wit No man is an island  All men
are created equal  and No lie can live forever. King recycles these bits of traditional wisdom
in various contexts  varying his proverbial messages as he addresses the multifaceted issues of
civil rights. His rhetorical prowess is thus informed to a considerable degree by his effective
use of his repertoire of proverbs which he frequently uses as leitmotifs or amasses into set
pieces of fixed phrases to be employed repeatedly.
