A little JK Rowling for the dark times ahead

"...I say to you all, once again in the light of Lord Voldemort's return, we are only as strong as we are united, so weak as we are divided.

"Lord Voldemort's gift for spreading discord and emnity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust. Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.

"It is my belief - and never have I so hoped that I am mistaken - that we are all facing dark and difficult times...."

"...Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory."

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, pp 627 - 628
