I was called a terrorist yesterday, but when I came out of jail, many people embraced me, including my enemies, and that is what I normally tell other people who say those who are struggling for liberation in their country are terrorists.

Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.

Thinking is one of the most important weapons in dealing with problems

What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.

I was made, by the law, a criminal, not because of what I had done, but because of what I stood for, because of what I thought, because of my conscience... If I had my time over I would do the same again. So would any man who dares call himself a man.

We don't have to be victims of our past, that we can let go of our bitterness, and that all of us can achieve greatness.

I'm not going to sit here and argue with you. Just PUT THE BLOODY METER ON.
