“A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies.”

If we do an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, we will be a blind and toothless nation.

We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience.

He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.

Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.

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

One day we will learn that the heart can never be totally right when the head is totally wrong

Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.

We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.

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

It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important.

No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they’d die for.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

That the greatest security of the people, against the encroachments and usurpations of their superiors, is to keep the Spirit of Liberty constantly awake, is an undeniable truth.

The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedience, and by parts.

Liberty does not exist in the absence of morality.

Freedom means the power to act by soul guidance, not by the compulsions of desires and habits. Obeying the ego leads to bondage; obeying the soul brings liberation.

But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.

Liberalism itself has failed, and for a pretty good reason. It has been too often compromised by the people who represented it.

Each moment is a moment of choice ~ a time to leave the old, the limited, the restrained, and the contracted for the new, the unbound, and the liberating potential that expands before you.

We must remind ourselves that an assault on any one of our liberties and freedoms is an assault on all.
