“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
~~Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches~~

“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”
~~Plato~~

“May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.”
~~J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring~~

“There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.”
~~Leonard Cohen, Selected Poems, 1956-1968~~

“Each of us has an undeniable responsibility to ourself and the rest of the world to be our personal best on any given day. The ripple effect is far too-reaching to do otherwise. ”
~~Laurie Buchanan~~

“Having a vested interest in other souls unconditionally creates a ripple effect that produces miracles in the lives of those around us.”
~~Molly Friedenfeld, The Book of Simple Human Truths~~

There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents, … each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good; and good may bring forth evil, both equally unexpected.

~~Joseph Addison~~
