No one is born hating another person because the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion.
People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love.
For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.
Education is the most powerful weapon which we can use to change the world.
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
