I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.

Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.

There is nothing like returing to a place that remains uncganged to find how you yourself have altered.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation.

Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings.
