I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn't write anything without hope in it.

Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope by a limit imposed from without but falsely identified as lying within.

The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice peace and brotherhood.

It is often easier to become outraged by injustice half a world away than by oppression and discrimination half a block from home.

Charity begins at home and justice begins next door.

The history of the world is the world's court of justice.

All History is current all injustice continues on some level somewhere in the world.

Judging from the main portions of the history of the world so far justice is always in jeopardy.

I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else - I can give my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
