One of the greatest casualties of the war in Vietnam is the Great Society... shot down on the battlefield of Vietnam.

We have no honorable intentions in Vietnam. Our minimal expectation is to occupy it as an American colony and maintain social stability for our investments. This tells why American helicopters are being used against guerrillas in Colombia and Peru. Increasingly the role our nation has taken is the role of those who refuse to give up the privileges and pleasures that come from the immense profits of overseas investment.

Pity may represent little more than the impersonal concern which prompts the mailing of a check, but true sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one's soul.

The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence.

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle.

This faith transforms the whirlwind of despair into a warm and reviving breeze of hope. The words of a motto which a generation ago were commonly found on the wall in the homes of devout persons need to be etched on our hearts: Fear knocked at the door. Faith answered. There was no one there.

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