When we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city...

To dislocate the functioning of a city without destroying it can be more effective than a riot because it can be longer-lasting, costly to the society but not wantonly destructive, moreover, it is more difficult for Government to quell it by superior force.

If a man has not discovered anything so dying is not worth living

Rioting is not revolutionary.

The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live.

Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.

I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular hometown.
