Every time we sit at a table at night or in the morning to enjoy the fruits and grain and vegetables from our good earth, remember that they come from the work of men and women and children who have been exploited for generations.

There is a great fear of our Union - a fear that I do not fully understand, but that I know is present...What is it that causes some men to act so hastily and so cruelly? It cannot be that we are so powerful. Is it so much to ask that the poorest people of the land have a measure of justice?

We're going to pray a lot and picket a lot.

Violence just hurts those who are already hurt...Instead of exposing the brutality of the oppressor, it justifies it.

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.

We must understand that the highest form of freedom carries with it the greatest measure of discipline.

If you give yourself totally to the nonviolence struggle for peace and justice you also find that people give you their hearts and you will never go hungry and never be alone.
