“We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”

True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.

Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.

Not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service.

If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.

We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor.

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.

Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last.

Have Love. Not love alone for one, but man as man they brother call; and scatter like the circling sun thy charities on all.

Jazz is the big brother of the blues. If a guy’s playing blues like we play, he’s in high school. When he starts playing jazz it’s like going on to college, to a school of higher learning.

My brother Shane and I used to spar with each other in the kitchen. We didn’t have gloves, so we wrapped tea towels around our hands.

No people are true Christians who do not think constantly of how they can lift their brother and sister, how they can assist their friends, how they can enlighten mankind, how they can make virtue the rule of conduct in the circle in which they live.

I was a tomboy and I didn’t have a bunch of brothers but I always wanted them and so I sort of adopted a few of my great friends to be my brother.

I appeal to everyone who believes in Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream to make room at the table of brother- and sisterhood for lesbian and gay people.

I am convinced that the women of the world, united without any regard for national or racial dimensions, can become a most powerful force for international peace and brotherhood.

My brother has not spoken to me in years. Something to do with Donald Trump or Jesus Christ or our horrible stepfather.
