We live in a world of guided missiles and misguided men.

We must stand up and say, "I'm black and I'm beautiful," and this self-affirmation is the black man's need, made compelling by the white man's crimes against him.

The strong man holds in a living blend strongly marked opposites. The idealists are not usually realistic, and the realists are not usually idealistic. The militant are not generally known to be passive, nor the passive to be militant. Seldom are the humble self-assertive, or the self-assertive humble. But life at it's best is a creative synthesis of opposites in fruitful harmony.

That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.

We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters.

Our children need our presence, not our presents.

It is hardly a moral act to encourage others patiently to accept injustice which he himself does not endure.
