Quoting For Humanity

We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. It is time now to write the next chapter - and to write it in the books of law.

We will never have true civilization until we have learned to recognize the rights of others.

Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.

Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.

I speak not for myself, but so those without a voice can be heard. Those who have fought for their rights. Their right to live in peace. Their right to be treated with dignity. Their right to equality of opportunity. Their right to be educated.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.

If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.

Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

Necessity dispenseth with decorum.

The best way to keep one's word is not to give it.

The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.

To create one's world in any of the arts takes courage.

Punctuality is the virtue of the bored.

Night comes to the desert all at once, as if someone turned off the light.
