Another way that you love your enemy is this: When the opportunity presents itself for you to defeat your enemy, that is the time which you must not do it.

Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.

I still believe that standing up for the truth of God is the greatest thing in the world. This is the end (purpose) of life. The end of life is not to be happy. The end of life is not to achieve pleasure and avoid pain. The end of life is to do the will of God, come what may.

The potential beauty of human life is constantly made ugly by man's ever-recurring song of retaliation.

I said to my children, 'I'm going to work and do everything that I can do to see that you get a good education. I don't ever want you to forget that there are millions of God's children who will not and cannot get a good education, and I don't want you feeling that you are better than they are. For you will never be what you ought to be until they are what they ought to be.

The law of "An eye for an eye" will eventually leave everyone blind.

A second way that oppressed people sometimes deal with oppression is to resort to physical violence and corroding hatred.
