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

A strong man must be militant as well as moderate. He must be a realist as well as an idealist.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is no easy way to create a world where men and women can live together...

By opening our lives to God in Christ, we become new creatures. This experience, which Jesus spoke of as the new birth, is essential if we are to be transformed nonconformists . . . Only through an inner spiritual transformation do we gain the strength to fight vigorously the evils of the world in a humble and loving spirit.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The negro cannot win the respect of the white people of the south or the peoples of the world if he is willing to sell the future of his children for his personal and immediate comfort and safety.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.
