Original
Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend.
1950s, Loving Your Enemies (Christmas 1957)
Contexto: A third reason why we should love our enemies is that love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. We never get rid of an enemy by meeting hate with hate; we get rid of an enemy by getting rid of enmity. By its very nature, love creates and builds up. Love transforms with redemptive power.
