"I choose to give my life for..." - Quote by Martin Luther King Jr

“You can't talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can't talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of the slums. You're really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry. Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong with capitalism.”

“I refuse to accept the view . . . that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.”

“One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that ' an unjust law is no law at all.”

“The greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add a useful plant to its culture. --The Fruit Hunters”

“President means chief servant”

“Blessed are they whose bodies get destroyed in the service of others.”

“In one way, I want to heal people.”

“The best gift you can ever give your mentor is to grow. They feed off your growth. I believe that everyone has the seed of success inside, but too many people can't find it in themselves and as a result do not reach their potential. But there are those whose purpose in life is to fertilize the seed of potential in another, who are rewarded by seeing that person grow and blossom before their eyes. Raising up others to a higher level is a mentor's joy and sustenance.”

“If we can't help our family, who are we going to help?”
