Nonviolence is the most potent technique for oppressed people. Unearned suffering is redemptive.

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

Whatever we do, we must keep God in the forefront. Let us be Christian in all of our actions. But I want to tell you this evening that it is not enough for us to talk about love, love is one of the pivotal points of the Christian face, faith. There is another side called justice. And justice is really love in calculation. Justice is love correcting that which revolts against love.

Peace is not simply the absence of conflict, but the existence of justice for all people.

And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land

There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.

And so we shall have to do more than register and more than vote; we shall have to create leaders who embody virtues we can respect, who have moral and ethical principles we can applaud with enthusiasm.
