"There is a Law that man should love his neighbor as himself. In a few hundred years it should be as natural to mankind as breathing or the upright gait; but if he does not learn it he must perish."
-- Alfred Adler

Hate is not conquered by hate: hate is conquered by love. This is a law eternal.
-- Buddha

Can one have love? If we could, love would need to be a thing, a substance that one can have, own, possess. The truth is, there is no such thing as "love." "Love" is an abstraction, perhaps a goddess or an alien being, although nobody has ever seen this goddess. In reality, there exists only the act of loving. To love is a productive activity. It implies caring for, knowing, responding, affirming, enjoying: the person, the tree, the painting, the idea. It means bringing to life, increasing his/her/its aliveness. It is a process, self-renewing and self increasing.
-- Erich Fromm

"Whether humanity will consciously follow the law of love, I do not know. But that need not disturb me. The law will work just as the law of gravitation works, whether we accept it or not. The person who discovered the law of love was a far greater scientist than any of our modern scientists. Only our explorations have not gone far enough and so it is not possible for everyone to see all its workings." -- Mahatma Gandhi

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.
-- Jimi Hendrix

If we could raise one generation with unconditional love, there would be no Hitlers…Mankind's greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear.
--Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

 

"Love is the only force capable of turning an enemy into a friend." -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

"This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love." -- Peace Pilgrim "The way of peace is the way of love. Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things." -- Peace Pilgrim

 

Love is not a doctrine. Peace is not an international agreement. Love and Peace are beings who live as possibilities in us.
-- Mary Caroline Richards

 

The basis of world peace is the teaching which runs through almost all the great religions of the world. "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Christ, some of the other great Jewish teachers, Buddha, all preached it. Their followers forgot it. -- Eleanor Roosevelt

Love is the most powerful and still most unknown energy in the world. -- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Love alone can unite living beings so as to complete and fulfill them... for it alone joins them by what is deepest in themselves. All we need is to imagine our ability to love developing until it embraces the totality of men and the earth. -- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis. -- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
