Martin Luther King, Jr.
  • Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.

  • Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies - or else? The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.

  • It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important.

  • At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.

  • It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.
