"Let us be patient with one another,
And even patient with ourselves.
We have a long, long way to go.
So let us hasten along the road,
The road of human tenderness and generosity.
Groping, we may find one another's hands in the dark."

Emily Greene Balch (1867-1961),
Nobel Peace Prize Winner in 1946
