Tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a motivating force. Many people look up to him everyday and live by many of his inspirational words. Two quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr. that I truly respect are:

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend. -Martin Luther King, Jr.

and

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear. -Martin Luther King, Jr.

My thoughts:
Dr. Martin Luther King has many quotes that inspire people all over the world. I picked quotes about love because there is so many hatred in the world today. His first quote inspires me because it speaks on how love can turn your worst enemy into your friend. Just like in the bible, God says to love your enemy. Having unconditional love for the world will surely make you a happy person, because even if someone doesn't like you, they will feel stupid running around wasting a lot of time hating you, when in your heart you have a lot of love for them. This is why I picked these two quotes, because love should be spread all across the world and it's important to talk about it.
