No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than it’s opposite.
-Nelson Mandela
Quotations
Love
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
-Jimi Hendrix
People will ask me: Don’t you believe in God? No, I don’t. I believe in two things above all: Nature and Love. Nature is all-powerful. Love is how I understand the good. It might have been nice to believe in God, often defined as all-powerful and good, but combining the two like that has always posed too much of a contradiction for my poor mind to believe in.
-C. George Boeree "C. George Boeree"
Let love of the brethren continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.
-Bible "Hebrews 13.1-2"
Love must be one and two at the same time.
-Rabindranath Tagore
Nothing I say can explain to you divine love. Yet all of creation cannot seem to stop talking about it.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves.
-Yves Saint Laurent
You can as easily love without trusting as you can hug without embracing.
-Robert Brault
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
You love your family, but not your neighbor. You love your parents, but not others’ parents. You love your religion, but not all religions. You love your country, but not all countries. This is not true love, it is limited love. Transformation of limited love into divine love is the goal of spirituality.
-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
