Martin Luther King, Jr.

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

Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.

Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.

The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'

The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: 'If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?' But... the good Samaritan reversed the question: 'If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?'
