Every man [human being] is an heir to a legacy of dignity and worth

We know of no more crucial civil rights issue facing Congress today than the need to increase the federal minimum wage and extend its coverage.

I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land.

We live in a world of guided missiles and misguided men.

When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind.

Nonviolence is the most potent technique for oppressed people. Unearned suffering is redemptive.

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
