My faith in man is, at bottom, a faith in God.

I became convinced that noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good. No other person has been more eloquent and passionate in getting this idea across than Henry David Thoreau. As a result of his writings and personal witness, we are the heirs of a legacy of creative protest.

Success, recognition, and conformity are the bywords of the modern world where everyone seems to crave the anesthetizing security of being identified with the majority.

[E]very human life is a reflection of divinity, and... every act of injustice mars and defaces the image of God in man.

We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.

A true revolution of values will see that the western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just.

Jesus is not an impractical idealist; he is the practical realist.
