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

In the days ahead we must not consider it unpatriotic to raise certain basic questions about our national character.

So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.

I subject myself to self-purification and to endless self-analysis; I question and soul-search constantly into myself to be as certain as I can that I am fulfilling the true meaning of my work, that I am maintaining my sense of purpose, that I am holding fast to my ideals, that I am guiding my people in the right direction.

Today it is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence; it is either nonviolence or nonexistence.

Nonviolence is power, but it is the right and good use of power.

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.
