Surely, if we can land a spaceship on Mars, we can certainly put a voter ID card in the hand of every eligible voter.
We think it is complicated to change the world. Change comes little by little. Nothing worthwhile can happen in one generation.
He [Martin Luther King Jr.] always used to say you have no choice about being born or dying. The only thing you have a choice about is what you die for.
It stands to reason that unloved and unwanted children are going to get into crime.
I wasn't predicted to be anything. I just followed an inner spirit, and it put me in the right place and the right time. I didn't want to be the mayor of Atlanta. I didn't want to run for Congress. I didn't want to work for Martin Luther King Jr. I wanted to work close to him and be a writer and write about the movement.
We rise in glory as we sink in pride.
It is a blessing to die for a cause, because you can so easily die for nothing.
I have about concluded that wealth is a state of mind, and that anyone can acquire a wealthy state of mind by thinking rich thoughts.

In a world where change is inevitable and continuous, the need to achieve that change without violence is essential for survival.
My hope for my children must be that they respond to the still, small voice of God in their own hearts.
Influence is like a savings account, the less you use it, the more you've got
Everyone's light turns on at their own time.
