Our faith is stronger than death, our philosophy is firmer than flesh, and the spread of the Kingdom of God upon the earth is more sublime and more compelling.

We must recognize the fact that many Nazis, Marxists and Fascists believe passionately in their fundamental rightness, and allow nothing to hinder them from their goal in the pursuit of their mission.

The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us?

We believe in loving our brothers regardless of race, color or creed and we believe in showing this love by working for better conditions immediately and the ultimate owning by the workers of their means of production.

Love casts out fear, but we have to get over the fear in order to get close enough to love them.

Food for the body is not enough. There must be food for the soul.

Certainly we disagree with the Communist Party, as we disagree with other political parties who are trying to maintain the American way of life.

Men are beginning to realize that they are not individuals but persons in society, that man alone is weak and adrift, that he must seek strength in common action.

We are the nation the most powerful, the most armed and we are supplying arms and money to the rest of the world where we are not ourselves fighting. We are eating while there is famine in the world.

First of all, let it be remembered that I speak as an ex-Communist and one who has not testified before Congressional Committees, nor written works on the Communist conspiracy.

We have all known the long loneliness, and we have found that the answer is community.

The legal battle against segregation is won, but the community battle goes on.
