Now when I talk about love, I'm not talking about emotional bosh; I'm not talking about some weak, sentimental something; I'm talking about something strong and powerful. I'm talking about something that is active good will, not just a passive, dead something.

Additional quotes by Martin Luther King Jr.

This is the unusual thing about nonviolence — nobody is defeated, everybody shares in the victory.

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.

The non-violent resistor not only avoids external, physical violence, but he avoids internal violence of spirit. He not only refuses to shoot his opponent, but he refuses to hate him. And he stands with understanding, goodwill at all times.
