"A new command I give you, that you love each other.

As I have loved you, love one another.

This is how all will know that you are My followers,

by the love you have for one another."

- Jesus of Nazareth

"I have three things I'd like to say today.

First, while you were sleeping last night,

30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition.

Second, most of you don't give a shit.

What's worse is that you're more upset with the fact

 that I said shit than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night."

- Tony Campolo

"Of all bad (people) religious bad (people) are the worst."

-          C.S. Lewis

"If tyranny and oppression come to this land,

it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."

- James Madison

"To believe in something, and not live it, is dishonest."

- Mahatma Ghandi

"Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty."

- Mother Theresa

"If I speak the languages of men and angels,

but have not love, I am but a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,

and if I have so much faith so as to even remove mountains,

but have not love, I am nothing.

If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned,

but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.

It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

Love bears all things, trusts all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails. ...

So now faith, hope, and love remain, these three;

but the greatest of these is love."

- St. Paul of Tarsus

"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless,

whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism

or the holy name of liberty or democracy?"

- Mahatma Ghandi

"God didn't send His Son into the world to bring condemnation to the world,

but that through Him it might be rescued."

- Jesus of Nazareth

"I know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind's problems.

And I'm going to talk about it everywhere I go.

I know it isn't popular to talk about it in some circles today.

I'm not talking about emotional bosh when I talk about love,

I'm talking about a strong, demanding love. And I have seen too much hate.

I've seen too much hate on the faces of sheriffs in the South.

I've seen hate on the faces of too many Klansmen

and too many White Citizens Councilors in the South to want to hate myself,

because every time I see it,

I know that it does something to their faces and their personalities

and I say to myself that hate is too great a burden to bear.

I have decided to love.

If you are seeking the highest good, I think you can find it through love.

And the beautiful thing is that we are moving against wrong when we do it,

because John was right, God is love.

He who hates does not know God,

but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality."

- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"When you wonder about the mystery of yourself,

look to Christ, who gives you the meaning of life.

When you wonder what it means to be a mature person,

look to Christ, who is the fullness of humanity.

And when you wonder about your role in the future of the world

look to Christ."

-Pope John Paul II

"Hatred can only be conquered by love."

- Pope John Paul II

"Suppose everybody in the world loves unconditionally,

loving others as one's self.

Will there yet be any unfilial person?

When everyone regards his father, elder brother, and emperor as himself,

where could he direct any unfilial feeling?

Will there still be any unaffectionate person?

When everyone regards his younger brother, son, and servant as himself,

where can he direct any disaffection? ...

Will there be any thieves and robbers?

When everyone regards other families as his own family, who will steal?

When every one regards other persons as his own person, who will rob?"

- Mo Tzu
