We aren't going to let any mace stop us. We are masters in our nonviolent movement in disarming police forces; they don't know what to do.

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

I have a dream today!

True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that a system that produces beggars needs to be repaved. We are called to be the Good Samaritan, but after you lift so many people out of the ditch you start to ask, maybe the whole road to Jericho needs to be repaved.

We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.

Through our scientific and technological genius we've made of this world a neighborhood. And now through our moral and ethical commitment we must make of it a brotherhood. We must all learn to live together as brothers-or we will all perish together as fools.

A social movement that only moves people is merely a revolt. A movement that changes both people and institutions is a revolution.
