"Never give in, never give in, never, never, never — in nothing, great or small, large or petty -- never give in except to the convictions of honor and good sense."
"I say to your today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American Dream."
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal.""As I often say to people who tell me they would like to serve the poor as I do, What I can do, you cannot. What you can do, I cannot. But together we can do something beautiful for God."
