Equality and Freedom
"It is not enough to limit your love to your own nation, to your own group. You must respond with love even to those outside of it. [...] This concept enables people to live together not as nations, but as the human race." --Clarence Jordan
"Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destrous community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers." --Dr. Martin Luther King, jr.
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -- Voltaire
"I'm interested in the fact that the less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme prejudice." --Clint Eastwood
"The doctrine of human equality reposes on this: that there is no man really clever who has not found that he is stupid." -- G. K. Chesterton
"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread." -- Anatole France
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." --Martin Luther King Jr.
"You've got to be brave and you've got to be bold. Brave enough to take your chance on your discrimination-what's right and what's wrong, what's good and what's bad." --Robert Frost
"An unconditional right to say what one pleases about public affairs is what I consider to be the minimum guarantee of the First Amendment." --Hugo Black, US Supreme Court Justice
"Once freedom lights its beacon in a man's heart, the gods are powerless against him." --Jean-Paul Sartre
"Those who desire to give up Freedom in order to gain Security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one." --Thomas Jefferson
