You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.
I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I’m a human being, first and foremost, and as such I’m for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.
Truth never damages a cause that is just.
Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.
If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.
It is better to risk saving a guilty person than to condemn an innocent one.
The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.
Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong.
True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.
Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public.
I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.
Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.
To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace.
Nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
Justice is truth in action.
Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful.
I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.
Without giving up anything on the plane of justice, yeild nothing on the plane of freedom.
