In our struggle against racial segregation in Montgomery, Alabama, I came to see at a very early stage that a synthesis of Gandhi's method of nonviolence and the Christian ethic of love is the best weapon available to Negroes for this struggle for freedom and human dignity. It may well be that the Gandhian approach will bring about a solution to the race problem in America. His spirit is a continual reminder to oppressed people that it is possible to resist evil and yet not resort to violence.

It is appalling that the most segregated hour of Christian America is eleven o'clock on Sunday morning.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.

It is cheerful to God when you rejoice or laugh from the bottom of your heart.

A right delayed is a right denied.

The ability to lead a happy life is made, not found

If you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl, but keep moving forward!
