You're as good as anybody.
We've been in the mountain of war. We've been in the mountain of violence. We've been in the mountain of hatred long enough. It is necessary to move on now, but only by moving out of this mountain can we move to the promised land of justice and brotherhood and the Kingdom of God. It all boils down to the fact that we must never allow ourselves to become satisfied with unattained goals. We must always maintain a kind of divine discontent.

For more that three centuries American Negroes have been frustrated by day and bewilderment by night by unbearable injustice, and burdened with the ugly weight of discrimination. Forced to live with these shameful conditions, we are tempted to become bitter and retaliate with a corresponding hate.

Is your heart right? If your heart isn't right, fix it up today.
Some things are right, whether nobody sees you doing them or not.
God made the world from nothing, and if we can be nothing, then God can make something of us.

Worship is as natural to the human family as the sing of the sun is to the cosmic order.
Love even for enemies is the key to the solution of the problems of our world.
