Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., USA
1929 - 1968
Civil rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner. (The first sentence of the following quote is attributed to Jessica Dovey; the rest to Dr. King.)
I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
The highest form of human intelligence is to observe yourself without judgement.
J. Krishnamurti, India
