- Every man exists in two worlds: internal and external.
- The internal is the realm of spiritual goals expressed through art, literature, morality, and religion.
- The external is that complex of devices, and in the hearts of men, we will come to that great and glad day when men all over the world will be able to join hands, black and white men, Jews and gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, Hindus and Muslims, and sing, free at last, free at last, in the words of the old Negro spiritual.
- Thank you, all-powerful God, we are finally free.
