Find the beauty in yourself so you can find the beauty in others.

Find the love within yourself so you can give love to the ones around you.

Learn to forgive yourself so you can learn to forgive others too! (Sarah Ember)

Don't allow anybody to make you feel that you're nobody. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


Love is the greatest force in the universe. It is the heartbeat of the moral cosmos. He who loves is a participant in the being of God. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Agreed.

To add another:

"There is a little tree planted on a little hill and on that tree hangs the most influential character that ever came in this world. But never feel that that tree is a meaningless drama that took place on the stages of history. Oh no, it is a telescope through which we look out into the long vista of eternity, and see the love of God breaking forth into time. It is an eternal reminder to a power-drunk generation that love is the only way. It is an eternal reminder to a generation depending on nuclear and atomic energy, a generation depending on physical violence, that love is the only creative, redemptive, transforming power in the universe.

So this morning, as I look into your eyes, and into the eyes of all of my brothers in Alabama and all over America and over the world, I say to you, “I love you. I would rather die than hate you.” And I’m foolish enough to believe that through the power of this love somewhere, men of the most recalcitrant bent will be transformed. And then we will be in God’s kingdom." - Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - Sermon "Loving your enemies".
