“Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war.
True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it’s the presence of justice.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and [...]
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.
Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually. We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers.
We must learn to live together like brothers, or we will perish together like fools.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.
Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
