I am a strong believer that without justice, there is no peace. No lasting peace, anyway.

The Iranian regime, in my mind, is the single most enduring threat to stability and peace in the Middle East.

Going home helps the content.

It’s annoying, but justice and equality are mates. Aren’t they? Justice always wants to hang out with equality. And equality is a real pain.

Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.

If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.

All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman; and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.

I cannot salute the flag; I know that I am a black man in a white world. In 1972, in 1947, at my birth in 1919, I know that I never had it made.

I refuse to allow any man-made differences to separate me from any other human beings.

Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.

Let man live at a distance from God, and the universe remains neutral or hostile to him. But let man believe in God, and immediately all around him the elements, even the irksome, of the inevitable organize themselves into a friendly whole, ordered to the ultimate success of life.

A man lives by believing something: not by debating and arguing about many things.

Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.

My belief is that we were put into this world of wonders and beauty with a special ability to appreciate them, in some cases to have the fun of taking a hand in developing them, and also in being able to help other people instead of overreaching them and, through it all, to enjoy life – that is, to be happy.

The peasant must always be helped technically, economically, morally and culturally. The guerrilla fighter will be a sort of guiding angel who has fallen into the zone, helping the poor always and bothering the rich as little as possible in the first phases of the war.

I have always thought I was the best ever player.

Make crime pay. Become a lawyer.

Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is theoretically possible.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

We’ve come a long way from the days where there was state-enforced segregation. But we still have a way to go.

He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.

Infinites, when considered absolutely without any restriction or limitation, are neither equal nor unequal, nor have any certain proportion one to another, and therefore, the principle that all infinites are equal is a precarious one.

Until blacks and whites see each other as brother and sister, we will not have parity. It’s very clear.

I don’t call myself a Buddhist. I’m a free spirit. I believe I’m here on earth to admire and enjoy it; that’s my religion.

Whoever feels predestined to see and not to believe will find all believers too noisy and pushy: he guards against them.

I was born realizing the flaws in the criminal justice system.

Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

Nobody has ever convinced me that race is real.

We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace.

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.

Faith… must be enforced by reason… when faith becomes blind it dies.

Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

I don’t even call them fans. I don’t like that. They’re literally just a part of my life; they’re a part of my family. I don’t think of them as on a lower level than me. I don’t think I’m anything but equal to all of them. So yeah, they’re basically all of my siblings.

I love being in a courtroom.

A good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night.

The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.

I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person’s life. God is in everyone’s life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else – God is in this person’s life. You can – you must – try to seek God in every human life.

‚They‘ are the people that don’t believe in you, that say that you won’t succeed. We stay away from ‚They.‘

The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.

Life in general has never been even close to fair, so the pretense that the government can make it fair is a valuable and inexhaustible asset to politicians who want to expand government.

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

I abhor war and view it as the greatest scourge of mankind.

Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.

Theology is unnecessary.

It’s not the tools that you have faith in – tools are just tools. They work, or they don’t work. It’s people you have faith in or not. Yeah, sure, I’m still optimistic I mean, I get pessimistic sometimes but not for long.

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.

I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.

When your higher self is present, it always promotes peace.

In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.

Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.
