"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** ~

Come to find out this is NOT a direct quote from MLK. I still like it, so here it will stay.
Proverbs 24:17-18
ReplyDeleteRejoice 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.
