“If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything.”

“Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.”

“You’re not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong not matter who does it or who says 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.”

”Sitting at the table doesn’t make you a diner. You must be eating some of what’s on that plate.  Being here in America doesn’t make you an American. Being born here in America doesn’t make you an American.”

“You can’t separate peace from freedom, because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.”

“By any means necessary.”
