“A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right.”

“A man who does not have something for which he is willing to die is not fit to live.”

“The non-violent resistor not only avoids external, physical violence, but he avoids internal violence of spirit. He not only refuses to shoot his opponent, but he refuses to hate him. And he stands with understanding, goodwill at all times.”

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

“If a man hasn’t found something he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.”

“I submit to you that if a man has not discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.”

“Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.”
