Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

Pray hardest when it’s hard to pray.

FACING GIANTS
Everyone of us face small giants every day, we perhaps handle these moments with clipped words, pained smiles, clenched teeth and deep breaths. How do we handle the giants that are larger than we can imagine? Giants so large we can’t even see the top of their heads, much less fathom the full extent of the damage they are about to do, or are doing, to our lives.
