"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".
“all human beings are prone to violence if they lose control of their emotions” and “not to judge an entire faith based on a few people.” "A few mischievous people are always there," Dalai Lama
It is sometimes useful to reason from analogy though analogy can prove nothing. Analogies may illustrate, but cannot prove anything in religion. But as the Great Teacher so often reasoned from analogy, illustrated and adorned his heavenly communications by earthly analogies, because we can arrive at the knowledge of things unknown only by the things already known, we may reason analogically upon this subject as well as upon some others; but the nice point is to know how far to follow any analogy. - Millennial Harbinger (Dialogue on the Holy Spirit pt 4)
"Every atheist is carrying along the dead body of the god he doesn’t believe in"
