My final words of advice to you are educate, agitate and organize; have faith in yourself. With justice on our side I do not see how we can loose our battle. The battle to me is a matter of joy. The battle is in the fullest sense spiritual. There is nothing material or social in it. For ours is a battle not for wealth or for power. It is battle for freedom. It is the battle of reclamation of human personality.
I believe in the battle-whether it's the battle of a campaign or the battle of this office, which is a continuing battle.
If there is no way out and confrontation and battle is inevitable, one can use power and strategy, balance and wisdom and enlightenment to win, of course. But the best battle is the battle that is never fought.
In Europe, the Enlightenment of the 18th century was seen as a battle against the desire of the Church to limit intellectual freedom, a battle against the Inquisition, a battle against religious censorship. And the victory of the Enlightenment in Europe was seen as pushing religion away from the center of power. In America, at the same time, the Enlightenment meant coming to a country where people were not going to persecute you by reason of your religion. So it meant a liberation into religion. In Europe, it was liberation out of religion.
The primary battle which religion must fight today is the battle to justify its own existence.

The surprise is half the battle. Many things are half the battle, losing is half the battle. Let's think about what's the whole battle.
Climbing is not a battle with the elements, nor against the law of gravity. It's a battle against oneself.
The battle against terrorism is not only a military fight but primarily a battle of information.
The legal battle against segregation is won, but the community battle goes on.
The battle that never ends is the battle of belief against disbelief
Life remains the same for me. It's always been a battle against injustice and corruption. That battle goes on.
The future battle on the ground will be preceded by battle in the air. This will determine which of the contestants has to suffer operational and tactical disadvantages and be forced throughout the battle into adoption compromise solutions.
Every soldier must know, before he goes into battle, how the little battle he is to fight fits into the larger picture, and how the success of his fighting will influence the battle as a whole.
