There's no reason to be non-violent. There's no challenge unless you are living for people.

If you're not frightened that you might fail, you'll never do the job. If you're frightened, you'll work like crazy.

Our conviction is that human life and limb are a very special possession given by God to man and that no one has the right to take that away, in any cause, however just...

The only ones who make things change are fanatics. If you're not a fanatic around here, you can't cut it.

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

When we are really honest with ourselves we must admit that our lives are all that really belong to us, so it is how we use our lives that determines what kind of men we are. It is my deepest belief that only by giving life do we find life, that the truest act courage, the strongest act of manliness is to sacrifice ourselves for others in a totally non-violent struggle for justice. To be a man is to suffer for others, God help us to be men.

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