Words of hope, words of optimism [View all]

There’s no other way to put it, we’ve definitely lost some battles, but we only lose the war until and unless we’ve surrendered.

A bully learns the wrong lesson if you keep giving him your lunch money. The goal should always be to win, but if we go down, it is much better to go down swinging than to go down caving.

In the end, evil never wins. It just sometimes takes longer to defeat than we would like.

It’s not a matter of if this gets put behind us, but when. It’s a battle many of us might have to fight for the rest of our lives - but if progress can be undone, so can damage.
