By its very nature, hate destroys and tears down; by its very nature, love creates and builds up. Love transforms with redemptive power.”

“There is a need for a movement of non-violent direct action.”

“... the young people are the ones who most quickly identify with the struggle and the necessity to eliminate the evil conditions that exist.”

“We must continue to go forward as one people, as brothers and sisters.”

“Discontent is the first step in the progress of a man or a nation.”

“The progress of rivers to the ocean is not so rapid as that of man to error.”
