White Rose
First they came for the Socialists
and I did not speak out because
I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists
and I did not speak out because
I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews
and I did
not speak out because
I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me and there
was no one left to speak for me
Pastor Martin Niemoller

I am not for myself, who will be for me?
If I am only for myself, what am I?
If not now, when?

Blessed is the Match
Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame
Blessed is the flame
that burns in the secret fastness
of the Heart
Blessed is the Heart with Strength to stop
its beating for
Honor's sake
Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame.
Hannah Senesh, national heroine of Israel,
murdered by the Nazis in 1944.

I honor
the place in you
Where the entire universe resides
I honor the place in you
Of love, of light, of truth,
of peace
I honor the place within you
Where if you are in that place in you
And I am in that place in me
There is only one of us.
Namaste,unknown Poet, India

Daniel Webster

Let our object be, our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country. And, by the blessing of God,may that country,
itself, become the vast and splendid monument, not of oppression and terror, but of wisdom, of peace, and of liberty, upon
which the world may gaze with admiration forever.

America's Promise
Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
and righteousness abide iin the fruitful field.
The effect of righteousness will be peace.
The result will be quietness and trust
Then people will abide in a peaceful habitation,
in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
Quotation by Isaiah 32:16.

Ulysses
Come, my friends,
'tis not too late to seek
a newer world.
Push off and sitting well in order,
smite the sounding furrows;
for my purpose holds
to sail beyond the sunset,k
and the baths
of all the western stars
until I die.
It may be that the gulfs
will wash us down,k
It may be we shall
touch the happy isles,k
and see the great Achilles,
whom we knew.
Though much is taken,
much abides and though
we are not now the strength
which in old days
moved earth and heaven,
that which we are, we are.
One equal measure of heroic hearts,
made weak by time and fate,
but strong in will
to strive, to seek, to find,
and not to yield.
excerpted from Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson
