Quotable (with post edit)

"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." 
~  Martin Luther King, Jr** ~



**Post Edit...
Come to find out this is NOT a direct quote from MLK. I still like it, so here it will stay.

  1. Proverbs 24:17-18

    Rejoice not when thine enemy faileth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

    Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
