“Real education should consist of drawing the goodness and the best out of our own students.”

“It is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just.”

“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community.”

“If you really want to make a friend, go to someone's house and eat with them. The people who give you their food give you their heart.”

“Our language is the reflection of ourselves. A language is an exact reflection of the character and growth of its speakers.”

“Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read.”

“We are not combative by nature, but we will not be trampled upon.”

“In some cases, non-violence requires more militancy than violence.”

“The end of all education should surely be service to others.”

“You are never strong enough that you don't need help.”
