LOVE

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

There is so much frustration in the world because we have relied on gods rather than God.

We have genuflected before the god of science only to find that it has given us the
atomic bomb, producing fears and anxieties that science can never mitigate.

We have worshipped the god of pleasure
only to discover that thrills play out, and sensations are short-lived.

We have bowed before the god of money only to learn that there are
such things as love and friendship that money cannot buy and that in a world of
possible depressions, stock market crashes and bad business investments,
money is a rather uncertain deity.

These transitory gods are not able to bring happiness to the human heart,only God is able.
It is faith in Him that we must rediscover.
We must work passionately and indefatigable
to bridge the gulf between our scientific progress and our moral progress.

One of the great problems of man kind is we suffer from a poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to scientific and technological abundance.
The richer we have become materially the poorer we have become morally and spiritually.

Every man lives in two realms, the internal and the external.

The internal is that realm of spiritual ends expressed in art literature morals and religion. The external is that complex of devices, techniques mechanisms
and instrumentalities by means of which we live.

Our problem today is that we have allowed the internal to become lost in the external,
we have allowed the means by which we live to outdistance the ends for which we live.

I've decided that I'm going to do battle for my philosophy.
You ought to believe something in life,
believe that thing so fervently,
that you will stand up with it till the end of your days.
I can't make myself believe that God wants me to hate.
I'm tired of violence.
And I'm not going to let my oppressor dictate to me what method I must use.

We have a power, power that can't be found in Molotov cocktails, but we do have a power.
Power that cannot be found in bullets and guns, but we have a power.
It is a power as old as the insights of Jesus of Nazareth
and as modern as the techniques of Mahatma Gandhi.

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable.
Even a superficial look at history social advance rolls in on the wheels of inevitability.
Every step towards the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering and struggle;
the tireless exertions and passionate concerns of dedicated individuals.
Without persistent effort, time itself becomes an ally of the insurgent and primitive forces of irrational emotionalism and social destruction.

This is no time for apathy or complacency.
This is a time for vigorous and positive action."
