Nothing degrades a man do more than the allowed stoop so low as to hate someone

My parents would always tell me that I should not hate the white man, but that it was my duty as a Christian to love him.

We aren't going to have peace on Earth until we recognize the basic fact of the interrelated structure of all reality.

Difficult and painful as it is, we must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future.

Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says, 'Love your enemies.' It is this: that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals.

That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.

He (Jesus) knew that the old eye-for-eye philosophy would leave everyone blind. He did not seek to overcome evil with evil. He overcame evil with good. Although crucified by hate, he responded with aggressive love.
