The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral,
begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil,
it multiplies it. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not
murder hate. In fact, violence, merely increases hate....Returning violence
for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already
devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. -- Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr.
Man has no right to kill his brother. It is no excuse that he does so in a

no enemy. -- Mohandas K. Gandhi
Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous; love is never boastful
or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense, and it
is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delights
in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure
whatever comes. Love does not come to an end. -- 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
Jerusalem Bible )
