I have consistently preached that nonviolence demands that the means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.

Never could I advocate nonviolence in this country and not advocate nonviolence for the whole world.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

Never, never be afraid to do what's right.

We can walk through the darkest night with the radiant conviction that all things work together for the good.

Everyone has an opportunity to be great because everyone has an opportunity to serve.
