Somewhere somebody must have some sense. Men must see that force begets force, hate begets hate, toughness begets toughness. And it is all a descending spiral, ultimately ending in destruction for all and everybody. Somebody must have sense enough and morality enough to cut off the chain of hate and the chain of evil in the universe. And you do that by love. ✨ Loving Your Enemies. Speech delivered at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Montgomery, Alabama, November 17, 1957.
