Voting is the foundation stone for political action.

When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.

Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve.

I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic.

I often feel like saying, when I hear the question 'People aren't ready,' that it's like telling a person who is trying to swim, 'Don't jump in that water until you learn how to swim.' When actually you will never learn how to swim until you get in the water. And I think people have to have an opportunity to develop themselves and govern themselves.

I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed, without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today – my own government.

Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.
