Together, All Things Are Possible

Preservation Of One's Own Culture Does Not Require Contempt Or Disrespect For Other Cultures.

The Non-violent Technique Does Not Depend For Its Success On The Goodwill Of The Oppressor, But Rather On The Unfailing Assistance Of God.

We Have Suffered Unnumbered Ills And Crimes In The Name Of The Law Of The Land. Our Men, Women, And Children Have Suffered Not Only The Basic Brutality Of Stoop Labor, And The Most Obvious Injustices Of The System; They Have Also Suffered The Desperation Of Knowing That The System Caters To The Greed Of Callous Men And Not To Our Needs. Now We Will Suffer For The Purpose Of Ending The Poverty, The Misery, And The Injustice, With The Hope That Our Children Will Not Be Exploited As We Have Been. They Have Imposed Hungers On Us, And Now We Hunger For Justice.

Only When We Have Become Nonviolent Towards All Life Will We Have Learned To Live Well With Others.

Our Struggle Is Not Easy. Those Who Oppose Our Cause Are Rich And Powerful And They Have Many Allies In High Places. We Are Poor. Our Allies Are Few. But We Have Something The Rich Do Not Own. We Have Our Bodies And Spirits And The Justice Of Our Cause As Our Weapons.
