The Fifth and Sixth Verses of the Dhammapada (the Path of the Truths)

[Two slight different translations]

These verses are, for my, in fact The Law, Eternal and Inexhaustible. The Foundation Stone of my Philosophical-Religious views.
Here they are:

In this world
Hate never yet dispelled hate.
Only love dispels hate.
This is The Law,
Eternal and Inexhaustible.

Many do not realize that we must all come to an end here;
but those who do realize this, end their quarrels at once.

----------------------------

Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a Law eternal.

There are those who do not realize that one day we all must die. But those who do realize this settle their quarrels.
