I decide on the basis of conscience. A genuine leader doesn't reflect consensus, he molds consensus.

The profit motive, when it is the sole basis of an economic system, encourages a cutthroat competition and selfish ambition that inspires men to be more concerned about making a living than making a life.

One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust ... is in reality expressing the highest respect for law ... We will not obey your evil laws.

We must use time creatively.

A second thing that an individual must do in seeking to love his enemy is to discover the element of good in his enemy, and everytime you begin to hate that person and think of hating that person, realize that there is some good there and look at those good points which will over-balance the bad points.

My obligation is to do the right thing. The rest is in God's hands.

True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.
