It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.

The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state, and never its tool. If the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority.

Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies – or else? The chain reaction of evil – hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars – must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

Every man lives in two realms: the internal and the external. The internal is that realm of spiritual ends expressed in art, literature, morals, and religion. The external is that complex of devices, techniques, mechanisms, and instrumentalities by means of which we live.

The greatest purveyor of violence in the world : My own Government, I can not be Silent.

There is nothing more majestic than the determined courage of individuals willing to suffer and sacrifice for their freedom and dignity.

The dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality.

The time is always right, to do what's right.

A riot is the language of the unheard.
