I have a dream... I have a dream today... And if America is to be a great nation this must become true.

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

We may win a battle, but if in doing so we have planted thousands of seeds of hatred and fear..the war is not over- only the present conflict has ceased. There will be no peace as long as we react to violence with violence.

Your self-image should not come from the job you do but from how well you do your job.

Courageous men never lose the zest for living even though their life situation is zestless; cowardly men, overwhelmed by the uncertainties of life, lose the will to live. We must constantly build dykes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.

Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.
