The obscure we see eventually.
by Edward R. Murrow

We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason
if we dig deep in our history and remember

to associate and to defend causes
which were for the moment unpopular.

Friendships to brighten your being,

Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.
