“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge — myth is more potent than history — dreams are more powerful than facts — hope always triumphs over experience — laughter is the cure for grief — love is stronger than death.”<\/p>\n

Hope Is a Tattered Flag<\/b><\/p>\n

Hope is a tattered flag and a dream of time.
\nHope is a heartspun word, the rainbow, the shadblow in white
\nThe evening star inviolable over the coal mines,
\nThe shimmer of northern lights across a bitter winter night,
\nThe blue hills beyond the smoke of the steel works,
\nThe birds who go on singing to their mates in peace, war, peace,
\nThe ten-cent crocus bulb blooming in a used-car salesroom,
\nThe horseshoe over the door, the luckpiece in the pocket,
\nThe kiss and the comforting laugh and resolve\u00e2\u20ac\u201d
\nHope is an echo, hope ties itself yonder, yonder.
\nThe spring grass showing itself where least expected,
\nThe rolling fluff of white clouds on a changeable sky,
\nThe broadcast of strings from Japan, bells from Moscow,
\nOf the voice of the prime minister of Sweden carried
\nAcross the sea in behalf of a world family of nations
\nAnd children singing chorals of the Christ child
\nAnd Bach being broadcast from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
\nAnd tall skyscrapers practically empty of tenants
\nAnd the hands of strong men groping for handholds
\nAnd the Salvation Army singing God loves us\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. <\/p>\n
