I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good.

One day we will learn that the heart can never be totally right when the head is totally wrong.

When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.

Perhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.

Stand with anybody that stands RIGHT. Stand with him while he is right and PART with him when he goes wrong.

If the negro is a man, why then my ancient faith teaches me that ``all men are created equal;'' and that there can be no moral right in connection with one man's making a slave of another.
