compassion is ALWAYS in fashion

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction....
The chain reaction
of evil--hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars--must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of
annihilation.

-Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love, 1963.

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values
and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false
and the false with the true.

-Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love, 1963.



We must combine the toughness of the serpent and the softness of the dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.

-Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength to Love, 1963.

Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against
love.

-Martin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?, 1967.

Have a Wonderful Martin Luther King Day!!!
Keep Others In Your thoughts and prayers today and everyday.
