"We ain't goin' study war no more...." - Quote by Martin Luther King Jr

“The self cannot be self without other selves.”

“The Negro has no room to make any substantial compromises because his store of advantages is too small. He must press unrelentingly for quality, integrated education or his whole drive for freedom will be undermined by the absence of a most vital and indispensable element - learning.”

“Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.”

“That long (Canadian) frontier from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, guarded only by neighbourly respect and honourable obligations, as an example to every country and a pattern for the future of the world.”

“Democracy and violence can ill go together.”

“If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.”

“We can say with certainty - or 90% probability - that the new industries that are about to be born will have nothing to do with information.”

“A statesman is he who thinks in the future generations, and a politician is he who thinks in the upcoming elections.”

“The very purpose of our life is happiness, which is sustained by hope. We have no guarantee about the future, but we exist in the hope of something better. Hope means keeping going, thinking, ‘I can do this.’ It brings inner strength, self-confidence , the ability to do what you do honestly, truthfully and transparently.”
