We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man’s sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

Today, I hope you can take some time to read some of Martin Luther King Jr‘s speeches… many are here. Our country is so far off track from his visions of nonviolence and equality – starting an unprovoked war and letting down our own people affected by natural disaster. I hope we can find a way to live out his dreams.
