The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.

Man was born into barbarism when killing his fellow man was a normal condition of existence. He became endowed with a conscience. And he has now reached the day when violence toward another human being must become as abhorrent as eating another's flesh.

I am convinced that...in the struggle for righteousness man has cosmic companionship.

Even in the inevitable moments when all seems hopeless, men know that without hope they cannot really live, and in agonizing desperation they cry for the bread of hope.

‎It is a cruel injustice to tell a bootless man to pull himself up by his bootstraps.

Unless you have found something in life to live for that is more important to you than your own life, you will always be a slave. For all another man needs to do is threaten to take your life to get you to do his bidding.

The potential beauty of human life is constantly made ugly by man's ever-recurring song of retaliation.

The strong man is the man who can stand up for his rights and not hit back.

A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right.
