I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled.

Communism forgets that life is individual. Capitalism forgets that life is social, and the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism but in a higher synthesis. It is found in a higher synthesis that combines the truths of both.

Personality is like a charioteer with two headstrong horses, each wanting to go in different directions.

Every person must stand up and be accountable, but be responsible for their actions.

The road to freedom is a difficult, hard road. It always makes for temporary setbacks.

The more there are riots, the more repressive actin will take place, and the more we face the danger of a right-wing takeover and eventually a fascist society.

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity.
