* Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase.
* I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.
* Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
* Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
* The church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society.
* The good neighbor looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers.
* Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
* All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.
* We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.
* It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important.
* In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
