It's amazing how people can get so excited about a rocket to the moon and not give a damn about smog, oil leaks, the devastation of the environment with pesticides, hunger, disease. When the poor share some of the power that the affluent now monopolize, we will give a damn.

In non-violence the cause has to be just and clear as well as the means.

If we are full of hatred, we can't really do our work. Hatred saps all that strength and energy we need to plan.

Perhaps we can bring the day when children will learn from their earliest days that being fully man and fully woman means to give one's life to the liberation of the brother [and sister] who suffers. It is up to each one of us. It won't happen unless we decide to use our lives to show the way.

In giving of yourself, you will discover a whole new life full of meaning and love.
