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

I may be crucified for my beliefs and, if I am, you can say, "He died to make men free."

God has given each normal person a capacity to achieve some end. True, some are endowed with more talent than others, but God has left none of us talentless.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

My place is in the sunlight of opportunity.

If a man hasn't discovered something that he would die for, he isn't fit to live.

Non-violence is a powerful and just weapon. It is a weapon unique in history, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.

The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

Pity may represent little more than the impersonal concern which prompts the mailing of a check, but true sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one's soul.

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
