If a man hasn't found anything worth dying for, he hasn't anything worth living for.

We must come to see with the distinguished jurist of yesterday that "justice too long delayed is justice denied."

We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.

He (Jesus) knew that the old eye-for-eye philosophy would leave everyone blind. He did not seek to overcome evil with evil. He overcame evil with good. Although crucified by hate, he responded with aggressive love.

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it.

The problem with hatred and violence is that they intensity the fears of the white majority, and leave them less ashamed of their prejudices toward Negroes.
