And another thing: truth requires constant repetition, because error is being preached about us all the time, and not only by isolated individuals but by the masses. In the newspapers and encyclopedias, in schools and universities, everywhere error rides high and basks in the consciousness of having the majority on its side.~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Those who are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticize.~ Elizabeth Harrison The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves.~ William Hazlitt Love your country, but never trust its government.~ Robert A. Heinlein The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.~ Eric Hoffer Perfect love holds the secret of the world's perfect liberty.~ Josiah Gilbert Holland Love is the only bow on Life's dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher. It is the air and light of every heart -- builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody -- for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.~ Robert G. Ingersoll But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.~ Jesus of Nazareth The human heart refuses to believe in a universe without purpose.~ Immanuel Kant Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I have a dream that one day ... the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In our struggle against racial segregation in Montgomery, Alabama, I came to see at a very early stage that a synthesis of Gandhi's method of nonviolence and the Christian ethic of love is the best weapon available to Negroes for this struggle for freedom and human dignity. It may well be that the Gandhian approach will bring about a solution to the race problem in America. His spirit is a continual reminder to oppressed people that it is possible to resist evil and yet not resort to violence.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, 'Free at last! free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!'~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. ~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A man may have to die for our country: but no man must, in any exclusive sense, live for his country. He who surrenders himself without reservation to the temporal claims of a nation, or a party, or a class is rendering to Caesar that which, of all things, most emphatically belongs to God: himself.~ C. S. Lewis Him that I love, I wish to be free -- even from me.~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues.~ John Locke Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
