"To our most bitter opponents we say:"

To our most bitter opponents we say: We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering.  We shall meet your physical force with soul force.  Do to us what you will, we will continue to love you … Throw us in jail, and we shall still love you.  Send your hooded perpetrators of violence into our community at teh midnight hour and beat us and leave us half dead, and we shall still love you.  But be ye assured that we will wear you down by our capacity to suffer.
