"The name of the game is to talk to people. If you don't talk to people, you can't get started...You knock on twenty doors or so, and twenty guys tell you to go to hell, or that they haven't got time.

"(Farm workers) are involved in the planting and the cultivation and the harvesting of the greatest abundance of food known in this society. They bring in so much food to feed you and me and the whole country and enough food to export to other places. The ironic thing and the tragic thing is that after they make this tremendous contribution, they don't have any money or any food left for themselves."

"Non-violence is a very powerful weapon. Most people don't understand the power of non-violence and tend to be amazed by the whole idea. Those who have been involved in bringing about change and see the difference between violence and non-violence are firmly committed to a lifetime of non-violence, not because it is easy or because it is cowardly, but because it is an effective and very powerful way."

"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."

"History will judge societies and governments — and their institutions — not by how big they are or how well they serve the rich and the powerful, but by how effectively they respond to the needs of the poor and the helpless."

"When you sacrifice, you force others to sacrifice. It's an extremely powerful weapon."

"No human being, however great, or powerful, was ever so free as a fish"

“Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.”

“They’re powerful, those songs. At times they’ve been my only way back, the only door out of the dark, bad places the black dog calls home.”

“The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.”

“Power never takes a back step – only in the face of more power. ”

“Power is like being a lady… if you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.”

“When people are free to choose, they choose freedom.”

“No leader, however great, can long continue unless he wins battles. The battle decides all.”

“Leadership is based on a spiritual quality; the power to inspire, the power to inspire others to follow.”

"The most powerful thing is for women not just to be the beneficiaries of the change, but to be agents of it."
