We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.

We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

We must constantly build dykes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.

We must either learn to live together as brothers, or we are going to die together as fools.

We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.

We must substitute courage for caution.
