More Quotes By Jon Katz
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.
Where there is love there is life.
Hate the sin, love the sinner.
The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.
Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love.
