Love is identified with a resignation of power and power with a denial of love.

Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“As a young man with most of my life ahead of me, I decided early to give my life to something eternal and absolute. Not to these little gods that are here today and gone tomorrow. But to God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
