I choose to identify with the underprivileged, I choose to give my life for the hungry, I choose to give my life for those who have been left out of the sunlight of opportunity . . . this is the way I'm going. If it means suffering, I'm going that way. If it means dying for them, I'm going that way, because I heard a voice saying DO SOMETHING FOR OTHERS.

The Negro needs the white man to free him from his fears. The white man needs the Negro to free him from his guilt.

My parents would always tell me that I should not hate the white man, but that it was my duty as a Christian to love him.

There is nothing more majestic than the determined courage of individuals willing to suffer and sacrifice for their freedom and dignity.

By opening our lives to God in Christ, we become new creatures. This experience, which Jesus spoke of as the new birth, is essential if we are to be transformed nonconformists . . . Only through an inner spiritual transformation do we gain the strength to fight vigorously the evils of the world in a humble and loving spirit.

Truth crushed to earth will rise again.

By its very nature, hate destroys and tears down; by its very nature, love creates and builds up.
