Don't let anybody make you think that God chose America as his divine, messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world.

Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.

The thing that we need in the world today, is a group of men and women who will stand up for right and be opposed to wrong, wherever it is. A group of people who have come to see that some things are wrong, whether they’re never caught up with. Some things are right, whether nobody sees you doing them or not.

I refuse to accept the view . . . that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.

If a man has not discovered anything so dying is not worth living

The oppressed must never allow the conscience of the oppressor to slumber. Religion reminds every man that he is his brother's keeper.

To ignore evil is to become an accomplice to it.
