I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular hometown.

Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever. The yearning for freedom eventually manifests itself.

I want to be the white man's brother, not his brother-in-law.

We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers.

I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him.

I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits.

Education without morals is like a ship without a compass, merely wandering nowhere.
