I live…

[Jesus Christ @JesusPerJesus]

peace… be still

[Jesus Christ @JesusPerJesus]

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other;

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

they don't know each other because they can not communicate; they can not communicate because they are separated.

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

there comes a time when people get tired of being trampled by the iron feet of oppression

[Jesus Christ @JesusPerJesus]

enter by the narrow gate

[Jesus Christ @JesusPerJesus]

narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

But today our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

of change. The large house in which we live demands that we transform this world-wide neighborhood into a world – wide brotherhood.

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

Whatever affects one directly affect all indirectly.

[Martin Luther King @Dr_MLKingJr]

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