We must use time creatively.

Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.

As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be free.

Mother Dear, one day I'm going to turn this world upside down." --From My Brother Martin, by Christine King Farris

All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.

The Christian faith makes it possible for us nobly to accept that which cannot be changed, and to meet disappointments and sorrow with an inner poise, and to absorb the most intense pain without abandoning our sense of hope.

I'm grateful to God that, through the Negro church, the dimension of nonviolence entered our struggle.
