Famous quotes containing the words luther and/or jordan:

    If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.
    —Martin Luther (1483–1546)

    We do not deride the fears of prospering white America. A nation of violence and private property has every reason to dread the violated and the deprived.
    —June Jordan (b. 1939)
