“A t the center o f violence is the principle o f love... love in this connection
means understanding, redemptive good will... Agape means understanding,
redeeming good will for all men. It is an overflowing love which is purely
spontaneous, unmotivated, groundless, and creative... It is the love o f Cod
operatingin the human heart.”
Martin Luther King
Cl 7
“Our desires and motives may be divided
into two classes - selfish and unselfish. A ll
selfish desires are immoral, while the desire
to improve ourselves for the sake o f doing
good to others Is truly moral. The highest
moral law is that we should unremittingly
work for the good o f mankind. ”
Gandhi
7 submit that the individual who breaks a law
that conscience tells him is unjust, and
willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail
to arouse the conscience o f the community
over its justice, is in reality expressing the
very highest respect for law. ”
Martin Luther King
Thoughts of Non-Violence
“Toughmindedness without tenderhearted­
ness is cold and detached, leaving one's life in
a perpetual winter devoid o f the warmth and
spring and the gentle heat o f summer. ”
Martin Luther King
7 believe in the absolute oneness o f God and
therefore o f humanity. What though we have
many bodies? We have but one soul. The rays
o f the sun are many through refraction. But
they have the same source. I cannot, therefore,
detach myself from the wickedest soul nor
may I be denied with the most virtuous. ”
Gandhi
Love never claims, it ever gives. Love
ever suffers. Never resents, never
revenges Itself.” Gandhi

effectcan overtake the whole universe. It 1s the greatest force because It is the highest expression
of the soul. All need not possess the same measure of conscious non-resistance for Its full
operation. It is enough for one person only to possess it, even as one general is enough to regulate
and dispose of the energy of millions of soldiers who enlist under his banner, even though they
know not the why and wherefor of his dispositions.” -Gandhi
