Martin Luther King Jr.

Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love. ― Martin Luther King Jr.

Maya Angelou

May 24, 2016August 17, 2018 CharlesLeave a comment

I do not trust people who don’t love themselves and yet tell me, ‘I love you.’ There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt. —  Maya Angelou
