"By its very nature, hate destroys and..." - Quote by Martin Luther King Jr

“We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”

“Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness. Let us stand with a greater determination. And let us move on in these powerful days, these days of challenge to make America what it ought to be. We have an opportunity to make America a better nation.”

“As we have seen, the first public expression of disenchantment with nonviolence arose around the question of 'self-defense.' In a sense this is a false issue, for the right to defend one's home and one's person when attacked has been guaranteed through the ages by common law.”

“For nobody else, gave me thrill-with all your faults, I love you still. It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you.”

“The supreme ordeal, let us say rather, the only ordeal, is the loss of the beloved being.”

“I have never loved anyone for love's sake except, perhaps, Josephine - a little.”

“Throughout our history, there has been a long list of those we've been conditioned to hate. The British, French, Spanish, Germans, Japanese, Russians, Communists, Northern Koreans, Vietnamese, Iranians, Taliban, and both northerners and southerners in America are some of the people we've been encouraged at various times to call enemies and to hate. The list is long, and as time passes, those we were assigned to hate we later were told should be removed from our hate list. The enemy is obviously hatred itself. Have empathy for your assigned enemy.”

“We had fed the heart on fantasies, The heart's grown brutal from the fare, More substance in our enmities Than in our love”

“Another reason why we must love our enemies is that hate scars the soul and distorts the personality.”
