Out with the tranquil lights,
Out with the lights that burn
For love and law and human rights!

Every task, however simple, sets the soul that does it free;
Every deed of love and mercy, done to man is done to Me.

There is a life that is worth living now as it was worth living in the former days, and that is the honest life, the useful life, the unselfish life, cleansed by devotion to an ideal. There is a battle worth fighting now as it was worth fighting then, and that is the battle for justice and equality to make our city and our state free in fact as well as in name to break the rings that strangle real liberty, and to keep them broken to cleanse, so far as in our power lies, the fountains of our national life from political, commercial, and social corruption to teach our sons and daughters, by precept and example, the honor of serving such a country as America. That is work worthy of the finest manhood and womanhood.
Henry van Dyke
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
Henry Van Dyke
