I believe that in the end that it is kindness and accommodation that are all the catalysts for real change.

We speak here of the challenge of the dichotomies of war and peace, violence and non-violence, racism and human dignity, oppression and repression and liberty and human rights, poverty and freedom from want.

Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life . . .

As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.

A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.

Part of building a new nation means building a spirit of tolerance, love and respect amongst the people of this country.

It only seems impossible until it's done.
