We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was “legal” and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was “illegal.” It was “illegal” to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler’s Germany. Even so, I am sure that, had I lived in Germany at the time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers. If todayI lived in a Communist country where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I would openly advocate disobeying that country's antireligious laws.

The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

We must follow nonviolence and love.

An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.

The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven.

It is cheerful to God when you rejoice or laugh from the bottom of your heart.

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it.
