I think one of the great, great problems...is confusing people to the point where they become immobile. In fact, the more things people can find out for themselves, the more vigor the organization is going to have.

The thing that we have going for us is that people are willing to sacrifice themselves.

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

A movement with some lasting organization is a lot less dramatic than a movement with a lot of demonstrations and a lot of marching and so forth. The more dramatic organization does catch attention quicker. Over the long haul, however, it's a lot more difficult to keep together because you're not building solid...A lasting organization is one in which people will continue to build, develop and move when you are not there.

The basis for peace is respecting all creatures.

When a man or woman, young, or old, takes a place on the picket line for even a day or two, he will never be the same again.

True wealth is not measured in money or status or power. It is measured in the legacy we leave behind for those we love and those we inspire.
