We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who
is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some
good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this,
we are less prone to hate our enemies.
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically
bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of
peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed
truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
