"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."
 
"I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
 
"I just want to do God's will. And he's allowed me to go to the mountain. And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land."
 
"If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live."
 
"A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus."
 
"Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better."
 
"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"
 
"Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend."
 
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
 
"Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men."
 
"Science investigates religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control."
 
"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."
 
"Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better."
