alas for the folly of these days
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.
Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
Act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.
"There's a light that was shining when the world began,
And a light that is shining in the heart of a man,
And a light that is shining in the Turk and the Jew,
And a light that is shining, Friend, in me and you.
Walk in the light, wherever you may be,
Walk in the light, wherever you may be,
In my old leather breeches and my shaggy, shaggy locks,
I am walking in the glory of the Light, said Fox.
With a book and a steeple and a bell and a key,
They would bind it forever-- but they can't, said he.
Oh the book it will perish and the steeple will fall,
But the light will be shining at the end of it all.
Walk in the light, wherever you may be,
Walk in the light, wherever you may be,
In my old leather breeches and my shaggy, shaggy locks,
I am walking in the glory of the Light, said Fox.
If we give you a pistol, will you fight for the Lord?
'But you can't kill the Devil with a gun or a sword.'
Will you swear on the Bible? 'I will not,' said he,
'For the truth is more holy than the Book to me.'
Walk in the light, wherever you may be,
Walk in the light, wherever you may be,
In my old leather breeches and my shaggy, shaggy locks,
I am walking in the glory of the Light, said Fox.
There's an ocean of darkness and I drowned in the night,
'Till I came through the darkness to the ocean of light,
And the light is forever and the light will be free,
And I'll walk in the glory of the Light, said he.
Walk in the light, wherever you may be,
Walk in the light, wherever you may be,
In my old leather breeches and my shaggy, shaggy locks,
I am walking in the glory of the Light, said Fox."
I didn't know him.
I know those who did.
No man is an island, entire of itself: every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were; as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind...
Requiescat in pace.
And Godspeed.
