I think if we, say, if all of the major leaders in this struggle [for human's rights] were at, at war with each other, then I think it would be very difficult to make this social revolution the kind of powerful revolution that it's proved to be.

A host of positive psychological changes inevitably will result from widespread economic security. The dignity of the individual will flourish when the decisions concerning his life are in his own hands, when he has the means to seek self-improvement. Personal conflicts among husbands, wives and children will diminish when the unjust measurement of human worth on the scale of dollars is eliminated.

Mother Dear, one day I'm going to turn this world upside down." --From My Brother Martin, by Christine King Farris

The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority.

I never intend to adjust myself to the madness of militarism.

A time comes when silence is betrayal.

Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest.
