"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....
The chain reaction of evil--hate begetting hate, wars producing more
wars--must be broken, or we shall be plunged into 
the dark abyss of annihilation."

Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love, 1963

God Bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies ,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America
My home sweet home. 

Irving Berlin
