"We must develop and maintain the capacity..." - Quote by Martin Luther King Jr
We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.

More on Forgiveness
“Hate can pardon more than love.”
“If, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink your eye at some homely girl.”
“It is possible to imagine a society flushed with such a sense of power that it could afford to let its offenders go unpunished.”
More on Love
“I have need of a friend. There is one and only one who will give the air from his failing lungs for my body's mend. And that one is my love.”
“I used to advertise my loyalty and I don't believe there is a single person I loved that I didn't eventually betray.”
“I believe when it comes to love, there's something intangible about who we are attracted to, and I don't think I have a pattern.”
