"We still have a choice today: nonviolent..." - Quote by Martin Luther King Jr

“Be The Peace You Wish To See In The World!”

“It is precisely because education is the road to equality and citizenship, that it has been made more elusive for Negroes than many other rights. The walling off of Negroes from equal education is part of the historical design to submerge him in second class status. Therefore, as Negroes have struggled to be free they have had to fight for the opportunity for a decent education.”

“A strong man must be militant as well as moderate. He must be a realist as well as an idealist.”

“If we develop the force of will, we shall find that we do not need the force of arms.”

“India wants to avoid a war at all costs but it is not a one-sided affair, you cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.”

“Strong countries and strong presidents talk to their adversaries. That's what Kennedy did with Khrushchev. That's what Reagan did with Gorbachev. That's what Nixon did with Mao. I mean think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela - these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying we're going to wipe you off the planet.”

“A nonviolent man cannot desire embarrassment.”

“The end of nonviolent 'war' is always an agreement, never dictation, much less humiliation of the opponent.”

“Since being in India, I am more convinced than ever before that the method of nonviolent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity.”
