Lightning makes no sound until it strikes.

I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular hometown.

I would be misleading you if I made you feel that we could win a violent campaign. It's impractical even to think about it. The minute we start, we will end up getting many more people killed unnecessarily. Now, I'm ready to die myself. Many other committed people are ready to die. If you believe in something firmly, if you believe in it truly, if you believe it in your heart, you are willing to die for it, but I'm not going to advocate a method that brings about unnecessary death.

Without hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the primitive forces of social stagnation. So we must help time and realize that the time is always ripe to do right.

Violence is not only impractical but immoral.

If you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl, but keep moving forward!

Injustice anywhere threatens justice everywhere.
