Be the best of whatever you are.

I had a very depressing response because I realized that these were my own people, these were Negroes throwing eggs at me. I'm concerned about the fact that maybe all of us have contributed to this by not working harder to get rid of the conditions, the poverty, the social isolation, and all of the conditions that cause individuals to respond like this.

I think that we must face the fact that in reality, you cannot have economic and political equality without having some form of social equality. I think this is inevitable.

So when Jesus says "Love your enemies," he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition.

In no sense do I advocate evading or defying the law . . That would lead to anarchy.

If you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl, but keep moving forward!

I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be.
