Some of the greatest battles will be fought within the silent chambers of your own soul.

Defeat may serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.
Even today we raise our hand against our brother... We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death.
We may thank God that we can feel pain and know sadness, for these are the human sentiments that constitute our glory as well as our grief.

Laughter and grief join hands. Always the heart Clumps in the breast with heavy stride; The face grows lined and wrinkled like a chart, The eyes bloodshot with tears and tide. Let the wind blow, for many a man shall die.
