I am convinced that it is one of the most unjust wars that has ever been fought in the history of the world. Our involvement in the war in Vietnam has torn up the Geneva Accord. It has strengthened the military-industrial complex; it has strengthened the forces of reaction in our nation. It has put us against the self-determination of a vast majority of the Vietnamese people, and put us in the position of protecting a corrupt regime that is stacked against the poor.

To have peace in the world, men & nations must embrace the nonviolent assertion that ends and means must cohere.

Mother Dear, one day I'm going to turn this world upside down." --From My Brother Martin, by Christine King Farris

Set yourself earnestly to discover what you are made to do, and then give yourself passionately to the doing of it.

It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society.

We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear. That old law about "an eye for an eye" leaves everybody blind... The time is always right to do the right thing. Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.

A man who hasn't found anything he'd die for doesn't deserve to live.
