Whenever you are engaged in work that serves humanity and is for the building of humanity, it has dignity and it has worth.

I will always remember my delight when Mrs. Georgia Gilmore - an unlettered woman of unusual intelligence - told how an operator demanded that she get off the bus after paying her fare and board it again by the back door, and then drove away before she could get there. She turned to Judge Carter and said: "When they count the money, they do not know Negro money from white money.

The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.

You can’t reach good ends through evil means, because the means represent the seed and the end represents the tree.

When you cut facilities, slash jobs, abuse power, discriminate, drive people into deeper poverty & shoot people dead whilst refusing to provide answers or justice, the people will rise up & express their anger & frustration if you refuse to hear their cries. A riot is the language of the unheard.

Something should remind us once more that the great things in this universe are things that we never see.

To have peace in the world, men & nations must embrace the nonviolent assertion that ends and means must cohere.
