"Abû Hurairah said on the authority of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allâh be on him, who said: 'There is a man who gives a charity and he conceals it so much so that his left hand does not know what his right hand spends'." (A Manual of Hadith, by Maulana Muhammad Ali, Ch. 7:7.)

"So this morning, as I look into your eyes, and into the eyes of all of my brothers in Alabama and all over America and over the world, I say to you, 'I love you. I would rather die than hate you.' And I'm foolish enough to believe that through the power of this love somewhere, men of the most recalcitrant bent will be transformed. And then we will be in God's kingdom. We will be able to matriculate into the university of eternal life because we had the power to love our enemies, to bless those persons that cursed us, to even decide to be good to those persons who hated us, and we even prayed for those persons who despitefully used us." (Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Loving Your Enemies, a sermon preached at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Montgomery, Alabama, on Nov. 17, 1957.)

"Do to no one what you would not want done to you." (Tobit 4:15)

"Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your own weakness." (Mother Teresa)
