Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

La oscuridad no puede expulsar la oscuridad; solo la luz puede hacer eso. El odio no puede expulsar el odio; solo el amor puede hacer eso.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Go into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way!" wink smile grin

= ''Ve a la oscuridad y pon tu mano en la mano de Dios. Será para ti mejor que una luz y más seguro que un camino sabido'' wink smile gringrin

Editor's note: The link text is to a famous poem by M L Harkins about halfway down the linked page if you cannot find it ...please look for the words: King George Vl Profile underneath the quote.The whole quote is really too long to include and too much work for me and especially the person correcting our work confused rolleyes tongue wink smile grin so I have decided to include a small relevant excerpt I have made a small correction: the word shall in English has been superseded by the word will to indicate the future tense so I have changed sería para ti to será para ti.....at the start of the second sentence.

Corregid mi español, por favor grin
