I can't tell you how to succeed, but I can tell you how to fail: Try to please everybody.

Pit race against race, religion against religion, prejudice against prejudice. Divide and conquer! We must not let that happen here.

Of course Mahatma Gandhi you might say did not have so much physical vigor but he certainly seemed to have extraordinary resistance, which perhaps is rather different from physical vigor.

Success must include two things: the development of an individual to his utmost potentiality and a contribution of some kind to one's world.

I believe that all that we go through here must have some value.

practically nothing we do ever stands by itself. If it is good, it will serve some good purpose in the future. If it is evil, it may haunt us and handicap our efforts in unimagined ways.

If we fail to meet our problems here, no one else in the world will do so. If we fail, the heart goes out of progressives throughout the world.
