in Leadership “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.”
in Peace “I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”
in Time “That old law about ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.”
in Greatness “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”
in Love “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.”
in Persistence “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”
