Do not romanticize the poor...We are all people, human beings subject to the same temptations and faults as all others. Our poverty damages our dignity.

We are suffering. We have suffered. And we are not afraid to suffer in order to win our cause.

The non-violent technique does not depend for its success on the goodwill of the oppressor, but rather on the unfailing assistance of God.

We do not need to kill or destroy to win. We are a movement that builds and not destroys.

However important the struggle is and however much misery and poverty and degradation exist, we know that it cannot be more important than one human life.

Non violence means people in action. People have to understand that with non-violence goes a hell of a lot of organization.

Concentration is inspiration. You must be completely overtaken by your work and your subject. Only then do all your influences and experience come up to the surface.
