congratulations men judging
Men judge us by the success of our efforts. God looks at the efforts themselves.
broken-heart dream silence
The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed.

It is not violence that best overcomes hate -- nor vengeance that most certainly heals injury.
