Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

I'm very glad Christ tells us to love our neighbor and not to like our neighbor because it's hard to like someone threatening your children and throwing fire bombs through your window, but He asks us to love them and that I can do

Without love, there is no reason to know anyone, for love will in the end connect us to our neighbors, our children and our hearts.

A man who hasn't found anything he'd die for doesn't deserve to live.

I am convinced that love is the most durable power in the world. It is not an expression of impractical idealism, but of practical realism. Far from being the pious injunction of a Utopian dreamer, love is an absolute necessity for the survival of our civilization. To return hate for hate does nothing but intensify the existence of evil in the universe. Someone must have sense enough and religion enough to cut off the chain of hate and evil, and this can only be done through love.

My obligation is to do the right thing. The rest is in God's hands.

Today we know with certainty that segregation is dead. The only question remaining is how costly will be the funeral.
