The white man will never be alone. Let him be just, and deal kindly with my people. For the dead are not powerless.

Mother Dear, one day I'm going to turn this world upside down."--From My Brother Martin, by Christine King Farris

A man who really fights for justice must lead a private, not a public, life if he is to survive for even a short time.

It is more dangerous that even a guilty person should be punished without the forms of law than that he should escape.

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that you have to agree with people and their beliefs to defend them from injustice.

Every transgression and disobedience receives a just recompense of reward, except with those who truly love themselves.

Seek justice: Make a commitment to serve the needs of the ‘least of these’ and give voice to the voiceless.

Cowards only find courage in the number of their likeness, citing their lofty strongholds as havens for their impunity.

Consider intentions carefully. Karma gives a damn about ego, awards allegiance to none, and its justice is truly blind.

True human progress is based less on the inventive mind than on the conscience of such men as Brandeis.~ Albert Einstein

Telling the truth may cause a few seconds of pain, but there's no medicine that can manage the pain of keeping lies.

The measure of man's ability to extend the sphere of social possibility can only start with the values of democracy.

The pain of humanity's most maltreated victims echoes deep within each of us, in the form of our shame or ignorance.

Far too many people allow broken egos and wounded prides to convince them to seek justice before they seek understanding.
