Quotes by Martin Luther King Jr - I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of

bitterness and hatred.

He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.

Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a constant attitude.

You know, a lot of people don’t love themselves. And they go through life with deep

and haunting emotional conflicts. So the length of life means that

you must love yourself. And you know what loving yourself

also means? It means that you’ve got to accept yourself.

Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
