"Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom"

"As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom"

"Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it"

"Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action"

"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men"

"We are all different. Yet we are all God's children. We are all united behind this country and the common cause of freedom, justice, fairness, and equality. That is what unites us"

"The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom"

"Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action"

"A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself"

"Nothing has been purchased more dearly than the little bit of reason and sense of freedom which now constitutes our pride"

"Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future"
