Here's the full paragraph.
"Let us move now from the practical how to the theoretical why: Why should we love our enemies? The first reason is fairly obvious. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction."
Here's a link to the full sermon.

This quote was given to me and said it was a Martin Luther King quote. For now I'll remove his name until I'm certain. A PM from you would have been nice.
Here's the quote which is in an article here at PC and for now I'll tag it "unknown"
"In his or her wisdom, an unknown person once said":
“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
