It's not how long a man lives, but how well he uses the time allotted him.

Never succumb to the temptation of becoming bitter. As you press for justice, be sure to move with dignity and discipline, using only the instruments of love.

I have DECIDED to love. If you are seeking the highest good, I think you can find it through love. GOD is love.

Now let me say that the next thing we must be concerned about if we are to have peace on earth and good will toward men is the nonviolent affirmation of the sacredness of all human life. Every man is somebody because he is a child of God.

Capitalism is always in danger of inspiring men to be more concerned about making a living than making a life.

It may be true that the law cannot change the heart but it can restrain the heartless.
