The way of truth and love (Mary Oliver / Mahatma Gandhi)

So it is if the heart has devoted itself to love,
there is not a single inch of emptiness.

 --Mary Oliver, Devotions 

     When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Think of it: always. 

--Mahatma Gandhi
