It is my deepest belief that only by giving our lives do we find life.

In some cases non-violence requires more militancy than violence.

I'm not going to ask for anything unless the workers want it. If they want it, they'll ask for it.

In this world it is possible to achieve great material wealth, to live an opulent life. But a life built upon those things alone leaves a shallow legacy. In the end, we will be judged by other standards.

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

When you have people together who believe in something very strongly - whether it's religion or politics or unions - things happen.

Being of service is not enough. You must become a servant of the people. When you do, you can demand their commitment in return.
