My uncertainty disappeared. Segregation is evil, and I cannot, as a minister, condone evil.

Love is basic for the very survival of mankind. I'm convinced that love is the only absolute ultimately; love is the highest good. He who loves has somehow discovered the meaning of ultimate reality. He who hates does not know God; he who hates has no knowledge of God. Love is the supreme unifying principle of life.

The end of life is not to be happy, nor to achieve pleasure and avoid pain, but to do the will of God, come what may.

Jesus Christ was an extremist for love, truth and goodness.

If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.

In some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.

I have consistently preached that nonviolence demands that the means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.
