It is my hope that as the Negro plunges deeper into the quest for freedom and justice he will plunge even deeper into the philosophy of non-violence. The Negro all over the South must come to the point that he can say to his white brother: "We will match your capacity to inflict suffering with our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. We will not hate you, but we will not obey your evil laws. We will soon wear you down by pure capacity to suffer".

Truth crushed to earth will rise again.

What good is having the right to sit at a lunch counter if you can't afford to buy a hamburger?

A man who has nothing he is willing to die for has nothing worth living for

The ability to lead a happy life is made, not found

If your opponent has a conscience, then follow Gandhi and nonviolence. But if your enemy has no conscience like Hitler, then follow Bonhoeffer.

Your truth will increase as you know listen to the truth of others
